Health and Social Protection Employees Union of Serbia

Health and Social Protection Employees Union of Serbia has existed since 1978 (until then it existed under the name the Union of Social (Public) Sector. It became a legal person in 1991.

The Union is an autonomous organization of interest, independent of state organs, political parties and employers.

It is a signatory of the first collective labour agreement in the health and social protection sector in 1991.

By collective labour agreement rights of the employed were increased, work hours shortened and additional coefficient related to the special work conditions defined; collective insurance of the employed was achieved, recreation holidays free of charge provided for, as well as the right to receive support and assistance, and good conditions for union activities.

At the time when all others withdrew the Union kept on struggling for the rights of the employed by organizing protests, strikes, inviting the employed not to vote those who disrespect laws, collective agreements and others reached with the Union.

The Union cooperates constantly with other unions in the health sector and other public services. This also applies to the health and social protection unions in the new states formed from the ex-Yugoslav republics.

We are affiliated to the PSI that organizes more than 20 million workers.
We organize seminars and other meetings where we enrich our knowledge that helps us to influence successfully those who take decisions on our future.

We have built a system of a regular information of our members by our magazine and through the information activities of our organs in the districts and cities.

We also organize “The health gatherings” as traditional manifestation where our members get together, compete in different sports and recreate.

The strategic goal of the Union is to improve the material position of the employed and to provide for the security of their jobs.

United we can achieve more.
