Protection of workers' rights
Support in cases of rights violations, illegal actions, pressure, discrimination and other injustices in the workplace.


Private Sector Workers' Union
„"Voice Workers' Union" was founded in Shtip to unite and protect private sector workers — for a decent wage, safe conditions, legal certainty, and a voice that cannot be ignored.
For Glasen Syndicate
„"Voice Workers' Union" was founded on March 1, 2024 in Shtip, initially in several textile companies from the Eastern Region. The founder is the Association for the Protection of Workers' Rights "Voice Textile Worker" - Shtip.
The union journey begins precisely in the city of textiles — a place where thousands of workers build local development every day, but often remain without sufficient protection. From this experience arises the broader goal: organizing and protecting workers across the private sector in North Macedonia.
The union responds to violations, injustices and uncertainty in the workplace, advocates for better legal solutions and regulations, as well as for quality collective agreements. Workers are the pillars of society — therefore their labor, time and dignity must be respected.
