South Korean firm maltreat workers in Serbia

Yura, South Korean corporation which has several factories in Serbia, has by far the worst attitude toward workers, when compared with other foreign investors in the country. Zeljko Veselinovic, president of the trade union “Sloga”, said this commenting 15 minutes strike in Yura’s factory in Leskovac...“Our battle with Yura lasts already five years”, Veselinovic told “Danas” daily. “They have been hitting (workers) with metal sticks, harassed women, although there were no rape cases. They forbade them (female workers) to go to toilet and suggested them to wear diapers for adults. If someone gets sick, they call ambulance to come to factory and if worker is not hospitalized she is obliged to get back to work”, Veselinovic explained adding that many complaints have been submitted against Yura. However, nothing has been resolved so far, he stressed.
