GSP Unions: Belgrade City Rewards Private Companies, Punishes GSP Drivers
Three unions of Belgrade's Public Transport Company (GSP) announced today that the City of Belgrade 'rewards private companies and punishes GSP drivers', deeming it unacceptable that changes to the GSP Collective Agreement abolished bonuses for drivers, while simultaneously a decision was made to increase the costs for private carriers.
TL;DR
- GSP unions accuse Belgrade City of rewarding private carriers while punishing GSP drivers.
- Changes to the GSP Collective Agreement have resulted in the abolition of driver bonuses.
- This decision leads to a monthly income reduction of over 10,000 dinars for drivers.
- Simultaneously, the city is increasing the service costs for private carriers ('BG Bus prevoz').
- Unions deem this approach unacceptable and a direct blow to drivers' livelihoods.
- They claim GSP is becoming a victim of priorities unrelated to public interest.
- The unions announce a continued joint fight for better employee rights and the preservation of public transport.
