Company "U.S. Steel" shortened working week

- By the decision of the management of company “US Steel Serbia“, all employees will have one paid day off a week until the end of the crisis, and they will be receiving 60% of the full salary – people from that company told agency “Beta“.

- This measure will help the company reduce the expenses in a fair and reasonable way, and it will also minimize the influence of the economic crisis on the employees and the members of their families - said Nemanja Brković, the Manager of Communications.

- The measure we’ve introduced is difficult, but necessary, and it is in accordance with the Law - said Brković.

- The representative trade unions in that company have been informed, and the administration will be monitoring economic and market trends in order to adapt the activities to the given circumstances on time - Brković explained.

Brković also said that the Government of Serbia was informed on the decision of "U.S. Steel".

The new regime of work – four-day working week – will make it possible for the company to satisfy the needs of the buyers.

Brković pointed out that it was not possible to foresee when the economic and market conditions would allow the company to return to five-day working week.

- When it comes to production, we are not going to speculate about business decisions that we may make - Nemanja Brković concluded.
