CANTON SARAJEVO GOVERNMENT: NO INCREASE SALARY IN HEALTH CARE

SARAJEVO, SEPTEMBER 5 (ONASA) – There will be no new wage increases for healthcare workers in the Sarajevo Canton until the expiration of the existing collective agreement, officials in the cantonal government confirmed today at a press conference.
In recent months, the KS government has been actively working on the request of health workers to change the collective agreement when it comes to the salary coefficient, said the Prime Minister of Canton Nihad Uk.
“In April of last year, a collective agreement was signed with three representative trade unions in the health sector. With that agreement, the salaries of all health and non-health workers were increased between 26 and 37 percent. The valid collective agreement lasts until the end of April next year, and therefore the new increase that is requested should not be implemented at this moment, states Uk, who points out that doctors should have the highest salary, that society needs it, and it is given by more than 25 percent of the non-medical staff, so as he said, the question arises whether it is necessary to increase these salaries.
He stated that they now have other focal points that they must solve, but that they will do everything to ensure that doctors and health workers have the salaries they deserve.
KS Minister of Health Haris Vranić stated that after negotiations with three governments, health workers managed to reach an agreement with this one.
He then stated the salaries of doctors, health workers, but workers in health institutions who are not medical staff.
