The former and current presidents of the Union of Train Drivers, Milan Vuković and Zoran Klikovac, testified yesterday that their colleague Milisav Dragojević did not receive the same treatment as other employees, because he pointed out problems in the work of that company.
Thus, the trial continued yesterday in the case of Dragojević, who received the status of "whistleblower" from the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption in August 2016. He is seeking 50.000 euros in compensation for abuse at the workplace.
Both stated that Dragojević was demoted after his appearances in public, that he worked in an unsanitary office, without windows and computers, that his colleagues avoided him...
"I also heard that he had a verbal attack from an engineer colleague who insulted him," said Klikovac.
They confirmed that he was removed from work, disciplined, and later returned to work by court decisions.
"All because he went public with his views on the situation in the Railway, on the unprofessional training of personnel. "I emphasized in the disciplinary procedure that he did not cause any damage to the company, and that he did not say anything untrue," Vujović added.
They also confirmed that they had suggested to their superiors to hire Dragojević in commissions where they lacked professional staff, but these suggestions were ignored.
Earlier, in his testimony, Dragojević stated that for years he suffered persecution, bullying, and insults to his personal and professional integrity, just because he pointed out shortcomings in the company's work. He resigned at the beginning of last year.
