The Trade Union Organization of the Directorate for Inspection Affairs (UIP) announced today that the Trade Union Organization of UIP Employees was created at the moment when it was necessary to protect the illegal actions of UIP Director Ana Vujošević.

The announcement also states that individuals of the new union are protecting director Vujošević and are fighting for the promised positions.

"The trade union organization UIP counts half of the employees and perceives the Government as a partner and believes in the promise it made recently that it will save all employees and that there is a need to improve the work of the inspection body through the reorganization of their functioning model. So, it is not a question of simply abolishing one state body as as stated by Ivan Todorović, who signs himself as the president of the recently formed representative union of the employees of the Directorate for Inspection Affairs, which has only one quarter of the employees in its composition. for inspection work, and which is being repeated these days, among other things, in relation to the resubmission of the Draft Rulebook on the internal organization and systematization of UIP workplaces, without previously obtaining the opinion of this Trade Union, about which the Trade Union wrote to the Prime Minister at the end of December 2023 Milojko Spajić, Minister of Finance Novica Vuković, Minister of Public Administration Maraš Dukaj and Director of Public Administration Argon Camaj", the press release of the Trade Union Organization UIP, signed by President Lucija Adžić, emphasizes.

The trade union organization of UIP employees announced yesterday that it asked the representatives of the Government to once again consider in detail the issue of returning inspections to the framework of line ministries and whether this is a path to greater efficiency or a few steps backwards.

From that organization, they added that the Government in its statement confirmed their engagement and expectation and stated that their assessment is that there is a need to improve the work of inspection bodies through the reorganization of their functioning model, and that the redeployment of employees will be undertaken depending on the model of the future organization. in accordance with positive legal solutions, that there will be no layoffs, nor salary reductions, and that the future model of the organization will not be to the detriment of employees, but will be aimed at improving the efficiency of inspection bodies, among other things, through additional staffing, with the aim of achieving better results.

"Thus, decentralization implies the improvement of the work of the inspection body with existing employees, with the same earnings, where the work will be carried out within the ministries, so that it does not represent the 'abolition' of the Directorate for Inspection Affairs, but the decentralization of competences. The decentralized model strengthens the connection between the Ministry and the inspection which carries out inspection supervision. In this regard, the inspection provides information on the implementation of regulations in practice and identifies problems in the implementation of laws, because the Ministry creates policy and legislation while the inspection executes laws," the statement of the Trade Union Organization UIP says.

They said that it is indisputable that in accordance with the Law on State Administration, the Ministry is established for one or more related administrative areas, while the minister is responsible for his work, the work of the ministry, as well as for the situation in the administrative area, to the competent authorities, the Parliament of Montenegro and to the Prime Minister.

"It follows from the foregoing that the Government's assessment is that the departmental principle of organizing inspections is more appropriate, effective and efficient in relation to the way of achieving control of work and carrying out inspection supervision. In relation to the projected situation regarding the decentralization of the Directorate for Inspection Affairs, we will monitor its implementation as active participants of this process, in order to preserve all jobs, which has been the practice until now, and which was confirmed in the Government announcement. The mission of this trade union is to preserve every employee and realize his right, with the support of the branch trade union of the administration of Montenegro, on which we are grateful", they said from the Trade Union Organization UIP.

They stated that from November 2021 they will work and operate according to an innovative system of functioning.

"From then until today, she worked in the interest of not only the members of the Trade Union, but also all the employees. In support of the above, the fact that the position of the inspector was the most important issue for us, and the evidence is numerous initiatives that were forwarded to authorities and institutions for competent action in relation to the labor and legal status of the inspector - the inspector's mandate, economic status, as well as a supplement to the basic salary of up to 45%, etc. Yesterday, Maraš Dukaj, the Minister of Public Administration, stated and confirmed what he had promised us in our immediate conversation, that through amendments to the Law on Civil Servants and State Employees, will propose that the inspector be additionally independent and independent - with the security of a permanent employment relationship," said the Trade Union Organization UIP.

They also said that based on everything, it can be concluded that the final solution is the one determined by the Government, i.e. the adoption of the proposed law in the Assembly, and that there is no need for anyone to hide behind the employees in order to protect personal and party interests and thus conceal the goals of organizing a new trade union .
