ZAGREB, April 26 (Hina) - About 50 workers of Croatia's chain of stores "Nama" gathered in front of the government building in Zagreb's St. Mark's Square on Thursday morning to protest against the situation in their company. "Nama"
employees demand that the company's former workers be given severance pays and that other workers be enabled to work in normal conditions. Two weeks ago, the workers staged a protest for the same reason, claiming the government was responsible for the company's bankruptcy. Union leader Mario Ivekovic said that should the protesters fail to meet government officials, they would demand a meeting with party benches in parliament, which are currently in session in the parliament building on the opposite side of the square. "Nama" workers should be joined by workers of the "Adriachen" company from Kastel Sucurac who demand a meeting with Vice Premier Slavko Linic to inform him about
ZAGREB, April 26 (Hina) - About 50 workers of Croatia's chain of
stores "Nama" gathered in front of the government building in
Zagreb's St. Mark's Square on Thursday morning to protest against
the situation in their company.
"Nama" employees demand that the company's former workers be given
severance pays and that other workers be enabled to work in normal
conditions. Two weeks ago, the workers staged a protest for the same
reason, claiming the government was responsible for the company's
bankruptcy.
Union leader Mario Ivekovic said that should the protesters fail to
meet government officials, they would demand a meeting with party
benches in parliament, which are currently in session in the
parliament building on the opposite side of the square.
"Nama" workers should be joined by workers of the "Adriachen"
company from Kastel Sucurac who demand a meeting with Vice Premier
Slavko Linic to inform him about "fraudulent activities" of the
company's management.
The state union of Croatian Post and Telecommunications (HPT)
workers is also expected to stage a rally in St. Mark's Square
today. The union, which has already organised several half-an-hour
stoppages in post offices, protests against frequent robberies of
post offices and demands better security conditions for its
workers.
At a protest rally two weeks ago the union requested the replacement
of the Croatian Post management accusing it of being unable to
improve security conditions.
