negotiations on amendments to the Labour Act as Prime Minister
Racan and union representatives on Tuesday agreed that severance

with more that 20 years of service. #L#
Social partners will meet on Friday to prepare a calculation of
compensation measures for senior workers, so negotiations on
amendments to the labour legislation could end next Friday, when
union representatives will meet Racan once again.
Union leaders recently discontinued negotiations on changes to the
Labour Act because the government had refused their proposals
regarding severance pays, dismissal periods and unemployment
benefits, stating it had to do so due to its obligations towards
international financial institutions.
