The Federation “Sindicons” calls on the administration of Monolit Construct not to pressurize the employees into leaving the company’s trade union and to draw up individual work contracts in accordance with the labor legislation, for an indefinite period. It also asks negotiating a collective work contract, IPN reports, quoting a communiqué from the Federation of Trade Unions from the Constructions and Building Materials Industry “Sindicons”.
According to “Sindicons”, at the start of last December, a number of employees of Monolit Construct, together with the trade union leader, submitted a complaint, seeking help in stopping the pressure exerted by the director.
Representatives of “Sindicons” asked the Government of Moldova, the Ministry of Labor, Social Protection and Family, the parliamentary commission on social protection, health and family and the National Confederation of Trade Unions of Moldova to intervene and ensure the observance of the rights of trade union members and to hold accountable the director of Monolit Construct. Only the National Confederation and the parliamentary commission have so far reacted.
“Sindicons” chairman Victor Talmaci held discussions with the director of Monolit Construct Petru Burduja so as to reach a consensus and resolve the conflict, but all in vain. Petru Burduja delays the initiation of negotiations on the demands submitted by the company’s trade union.
“Sindicons” informed a number of international trade union organizations about this case. Consequently, representatives of the International Federation and Building and Wood Workers, based in Geneva, sent a letter to Prime Minster Iurie Leanca, urging him to take measures to stop the violation of trade unionists’ rights and to ensure the observance of the International Labor Organization’s conventions on the freedom of association.
