ZAGREB, Dec 5 (Hina) - About 800 members of the Independent Union of
High School Employees will hold a protest rally on Friday between

"protest of silence" will be held during the fifth class in high
schools and students' dormitories. #L#
The union president, Andrija Puljevic, told reporters the high
school employees were protesting with silence against the
government's policy, especially its salary policy.
The mass for salaries in secondary schools in 2002 was 1.141 billion
kuna. Increased by the inflation rate of 2.8 percent, the amount
would be 1.173 billion kuna, and the government is offering 1.175
billion kuna for salaries next year.
The unionists are asking that the base salary be 4,350 kuna instead
of the current 4,232 kuna.
