Skopje, 1 May 2024 (MIA) - The human potential is the most precious resource of every country. The fact that many developed democracies are facing a lack of workforce is an alarm for all that we should seriously commit ourselves to the protection and promotion of workers' rights, says President Stevo Pendarovski on International Workers' Day-May 1.

President Pendarovski says satisfied workers are successful and motivated workers who contribute to the country's progress and prosperity.

To that end, he adds, every worker should be treated fairly by the employer, feel safe, secure and protected on the job, have dignified working conditions and be properly validated.

"Our task is to continue to support the efforts by the trade unions, help enhance working standards and conditions, so that workers have fair and equal opportunities for professional development," says Pendarovski.
