At a session of the HOK Assembly, Pecek called on craftsmen to found
a joint working group which would forward criticism directly to the
government, as craftsmen believe that some provisions of the Law on
Contributions should be radically changed, since they endangered
the craftsmen's material survival.
The craftsmen are dissatisfied with the suggested increase in
contributions for pension insurance (by 69 percent) and for health
insurance (by more than 23 percent).
