Albania commemorated May 1, workers' day, with more celebration than protest. Protests took place in the early hours of the morning in Tirana by a group of miners and an even smaller group of teachers.

Their demands for more dignified wages and working conditions and the establishment of a living wage were at the center of the protest.

But where is Albania classified in the list of countries regarding workers' rights? According to the International Confederation of Trade Unions? In the report for 2023, this confederation classifies Albania in category three, where it has received reports of continuous violations of workers' rights.

The categorization places Albania at the same level of workers' freedom as Belgium, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Poland, while Turkey, Belarus and Greece are ranked worst in Europe.

In these countries, the Confederation says that systematic violations of workers' rights have been reported. Great Britain was among the problematic countries last year because of a law passed that prohibits total union strikes.

As for Albania and other countries in the Balkans, the Confederation notes in the report that more than the legislation, the problem is its complete non-implementation in both the public and private sectors.
