Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)

Luka Koper (Port of Koper) plans to hire 220 port workers in 2018. Luka Koper will mostly employ low qualified workers in transhipment. Trade union “Counselling office for workers” demands to Luka Koper to chose the 220 port workers to be hired among those 740 outsourced workers who are already working for the company through 30 subcontracting companies. The hiring of outsourced workers is a much-disputed public issue since the strike of port workers in 2011 which revealed many abuses of workers’ rights. Nevertheless, their working conditions haven’t improved in recent years. Luka Koper refuses to hire new workers exclusively among outsourced workers on the grounds that they do not have the necessary level of education required (i.e. secondary).
