ZAGREB, April 26 (Hina) - The president of the Association of
Workers' Trade Unions of Croatia (URSH), Boris Kunst, on Friday
called on the President of the Republic, government and political
parties to oppose Prime Minister's advisor Lajos Bokros who
advocates the reduction of workers' rights as a way to increase
employment. #L#
Speaking at a press conference, Kunst condemned Bokros's recent
claims that changes to the Labour Act should reduce the workers'
rights so that unemployed people could be given an opportunity to
find employment and Croatia could have a flexible labour market.
Bokros, a former Hungarian finance minister and one of World Bank
directors, was appointed Racan's advisor a month ago.
URSH protests against advisors who insult workers and demands that
the government consult with domestic experts, Kunst said.
