We thank all stakeholders who have contributed to the Project the Law to be successfully completed. That branch Trade Unions, Women's Sections, the Office for assistance and education of mobbing victims in CCM, many non-governmental and civil society organizations, especially the working groups in the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy, and from the members of the Parliament I would like to address Ms. Liliana Popovska who has been present at all initiatives from the very beginning...

The meaning of the Law is reflected by indicators of damage caused. Namely on a month base in the country 800,000 Euros are spent for health treatment caused by mobbing, which means that the annual damage is about 10 million Euros.

The survey conducted by the Trade Union of the workers in the financial sector in Macedonia has showed that 42 percent of respondents said they were victims of psychological harassment in the workplace. We are pleased that there are serious penalties in amount form five to six thousand Euros for mobbing and up to four thousand for the responsible person. Employers are obliged within three months to inform workers about the Law and the provision of penalty and compensation.
