44 POLITICS AND TRADE UNIONS South-East Europe Several small steps towards self-help It is an open secret that the rapid and in part chaotic economic revolution in the transition countries has impacted on women in particular and will probably continue to do so in future also. At the same time, it is also a fact that in south-east Europe, women on an average, are better qualifi ed and are able to deal with the changed circumstances much more fl exibly than men. They have demonstrated this repeatedly in the joint action taken in the context of the regional project “Labor Relations and Social Dialogue in South-East Europe – SOE”. Since the past few years the FES has been intensively working with women trade unionists because even the trade unions have ignored the issue of “Women in the professional world”. At the same time, there are many good and bad reasons for women especially to develop new options within an institution representing their interests. Nowhere else in Europe have we seen such an avid interest in training programmes on mobbing as in the West Balkans. But the women do not want to merely struggle and resist, they also want to evolve new methods to free themselves of the misery on the labor market. So a series of events were organized in which interesting concepts of co-operatives for women and other disadvantaged groups were discussed. And some of that is already on the way to becoming a reality. Those are just several small steps towards self-help, but they are already bearing fruit. FRIEDRICH-EBERT-STIFTUNG
“Can severance pay be used for self-employment?” is a topic, which has engaged women trade unionists in southern Serbia since a long time. In this regard, women in Serbia can look back at some success stories and good examples because they have succeeded in generating long-term employment for themselves through co-operatives. Most of these co-operatives work in the social or service sector. With the help of the FES, the topic “Mobbing at the work-place – how can we defend ourselves?” is being dealt with, for the past several years, at the regional level with women from former Yugos lavia. The outcome of this interaction has been training programmes and material on how women can de- FRIEDRICH-EBERT-STIFTUNG fend themselves. In addition, it has also resulted, within the trade union, in internal policy initiatives being taken to make the rights of women a priority area within the general work of the trade union. Currently, in more and more trade unions, there are functional women’s departments, and maybe, in the future, these will provide a new and necessary direction to the work of trade unions, for example, more emphasis on the private service sector or on the small and medium sized enterprises – sectors in which jobs are (and can) be created and in which the majority of the workers are women. © Pellens Österreich Österreich Slowenien Slowenien Zagreb Zagreb Adriatisches Adria Meer Kroation Kroation ●● Banja Banja Luka Luka Bosnien Bosnien und und Herzegowina Herzegowina Sarajevo Sarajevo WOMEN MEN GENDER Ungarn Ungarn ●● Mostar Mostar Wojwodina Vojvodina Novi Novi Sad Sad Montenegro Montenegro Podgorica Podgorica ●● Belgrad Belgrad Kosovo Kosovo Rumänien Rumänien Serbien und Montenegro Tirana Tirana ●● ●● ●● Pristina Pristina ˇ Albanien Albanien Temesvar Serbien Skopje Skopje Makedonien Mazedonien Rumänien Rumänien Sofia Sofia Griechenland Griechenland Bulgarien Bulgarien With the help of the FES, the topic “Mobbing at the work-place – how can we defend ourselves?” is being dealt with, for the past several years, at the regional level with women from former Yugoslavia.
