Eight hundred workers from Nepal and Morocco will be employed at the Fiat factory in Kragujevac because there are none available in Kragujevac, Television Kragujevac reported, citing a statement by City Councilor for Economy Radomir Eri\u0107<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the long-time leader of the Independent Trade Union of Kragujevac and the Zastava Oru\u017eje factory, Jugoslav Risti\u0107<\/strong>, the arrival of foreign workers at the car factory is no surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s clear that workers from abroad will come, because for those wages, which are slightly more than 70,000 dinars<\/strong>, people in Kragujevac are obviously not interested, as they cannot survive on that. And that is why they are resorting to bringing in workers from Nepal and Morocco, countries where people are very poor,” Risti\u0107, who is the president of the “Nova svetlost” Association, told the Beta agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stated that in Nepal, which has 27 million inhabitants, more than half of the people have less than $1.25 per day for spending, while Morocco, with 37 million inhabitants, has a GDP more than three times smaller than Serbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Zone of Cheap Labor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The average salary in Serbia, Risti\u0107 said, is around 108,000 dinars<\/strong>, and in Kragujevac, it is a few thousand dinars lower than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Fiat factory in Kragujevac, Risti\u0107 explained, a worker can earn around 90,000 dinars<\/strong> if they work every Saturday, but that means working more than 40 hours a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risti\u0107 noted that it is a well-known story that Fiat in Kragujevac cannot secure workers and that it has already brought in workers from Italy, but it paid them incomparably more than Serbian workers, around 100 euros per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He believes that if Fiat were to pay a worker 1,000 euros a month<\/strong> here, it would easily secure workers if the state, which holds a one-third stake in the company, could regulate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our politicians long ago proclaimed that the number of our people leaving Serbia to work in the West should be equal to the number of those coming from abroad, and that this process has begun. The message is that Serbia must remain a zone of cheap labor. This is the policy of multinational companies, which our government supports,” Risti\u0107 claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
