DJORDJEVIC: Workers complain that employers misuse state aid, but there's no proof

Serbian Labor Minister Zoran Djordjevic stated for RTS that he received emails daily from workers complaining that employers misuse the state aid, but that there was no material evidence of anything of the sort happening, as employees chose not to testify.

Djordjevic said that, in earlier period, there had been complaints from workers, especially through trade unions, as there are employers who are trying to get state aid and keep the minimum wage provided by the state for themselves entirely or partially.

– We really need to cooperate with those workers who would want to come forward and testify about the misuse – Djordjevic points out.

– There have been reports, I get emails every day, but when we send an inspection to the company, there's no material evidence – the minister said.
