ZAGREB ON THURSDAY ZAGREB, June 19 (Hina) - The first goal of a protest rally which civil servants are going to stage on Thursday, is to express their dissatisfaction as they are flabbergasted by a fall in their salaries, and the
second goal is to call on everybody who "has laid" that there will be no fall in the public sector's wages to show their liability. The rally will be staged at the central Zagreb square "Jelacic Square" at noon on Thursday by demonstrators from Zagreb, its surroundings, and several thousand public servants from other Croatian areas, leaders of civil servants' unions said on Tuesday. One move (of the government's policy) has erased the dedicated and responsible work of a majority of civil servants, asserted the head of the rally's organising committee, Vilim Ribic. The Croatian Teachers' Union (SHU) head, Dalimir Kuba, said teachers insisted on the replacement of the First Deputy Prime Minister Goran Grani
ZAGREB, June 19 (Hina) - The first goal of a protest rally which
civil servants are going to stage on Thursday, is to express their
dissatisfaction as they are flabbergasted by a fall in their
salaries, and the second goal is to call on everybody who "has laid"
that there will be no fall in the public sector's wages to show their
liability.
The rally will be staged at the central Zagreb square "Jelacic
Square" at noon on Thursday by demonstrators from Zagreb, its
surroundings, and several thousand public servants from other
Croatian areas, leaders of civil servants' unions said on Tuesday.
One move (of the government's policy) has erased the dedicated and
responsible work of a majority of civil servants, asserted the head
of the rally's organising committee, Vilim Ribic.
The Croatian Teachers' Union (SHU) head, Dalimir Kuba, said
teachers insisted on the replacement of the First Deputy Prime
Minister Goran Granic who had conducted a process of the
introduction of a new system of salaries and not of Education
Minister Vladimir Strugar "as he (Strugar) does not exist for
unions any more."
Kuba said last week's attempt to reconcile (unions) with the
education ministry had failed and the SHU would lodge an appeal with
the Constitutional Court to assess whether the salaries law was in
compliance with the Constitution.
