The New Trade Union of the Kosovo Energy Corporation (KEK) has announced further protests, demanding fair wages and more dignified treatment for employees.
In a public statement, the union announced that the next protest will take place on November 19, 2026, at 11:00 AM in Pristina.
In its appeal to workers, the union emphasized that the protest aims to improve working conditions and ensure greater recognition of KEK employees’ contributions.
“We remain united for our children, our families, our parents, our dignity, and a future with fair wages, so that we can take pride in the work we do at KEK,” the statement reads.
The union has expressed dissatisfaction with current wage levels, stressing that employees face physically demanding work and significant risks on a daily basis.
“Not impoverished, not mistreated, not undervalued, not deprived of dignity, and not exhausted from losing our health and becoming poorer because of low wages, hard work, and the high risks we face every day,” the statement further reads.
“Determined, we remain united,” the New KEK Trade Union concluded.
The planned protest on November 19 follows an earlier call by workers to stage a demonstration on November 12, during which they raised demands for wage increases and equalization, as well as the introduction of a 13th-month salary.
