Union federation leader on talks with IMF, World Bank leaders

ZAGREB, Dec 21 (Hina) - The president of the Croatian Federation of Independent Trade Unions (SSSH), Ana Knezevic, has said at a recent meeting in Washington between leaders of trade unions, the International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organisation that those institutions' proposals regarding employee ownership stock plans are unacceptable for Croatian unions.
ZAGREB, Dec 21 (Hina) - The president of the Croatian Federation of Independent Trade Unions (SSSH), Ana Knezevic, has said at a recent meeting in Washington between leaders of trade unions, the International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organisation that those institutions' proposals regarding employee ownership stock plans are unacceptable for Croatian unions.

Knezevic told the press on Thursday the SSSH did not want workers to be entitled to buy only 25 per cent of shares and for a five-year period.

World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz said this was not their general policy and that legislation could be adjusted to the situation in any country. He called on Croatian unions to write to the Bank with their proposals.

The unions also complained about the pressure of the IMF and the World Bank regarding labour market reforms, saying that their policy had very questionable results.

Amendments to Croatia's Labour Act from 2003 make it easier to dismiss workers, in line with IMF and World Bank recommendations on labour market flexibility.

Analyses have shown that the unemployment rate has stayed the same, but the number of temporary contracts has gone up to 84 per cent of all new contracts. Knezevic said the SSSH would request that temporary work be limited to a one year period.

She said the next meeting, scheduled for next year, would address models of pension reforms and that Croatian unions would point out that Croatia needed a new pension reform.
