OSIJEK, July 5 (Hina) - The president of Croatia's Federation of
Independent Trade Unions (SSSH) said on Thursday the freezing of
SSSH's activity in the Economic-Social Council did not mean the
SSSH had pulled out of social dialogue. The federation will
continue performing its regular duties.
Addressing a public panel in the eastern town of Osijek, Davor Juric
said he still maintained the reaching of a social agreement was the
only model to overcome the current economic situation and a
prerequisite to headway in any branch of the economy.
"Until we get to the point where we can seriously talk about such a
document, the SSSH will try to draw up a draft social agreement
which should then be debated publicly," said Juric.
Commenting on the economic reform, he said the macroeconomic
indicators on the state of the economy were better since the 3
January 2000 elections than it appeared from a union point of view.
The SSSH will continue to insist on having those indicators
perceived through "the quality of every citizen's existence,"
Juric said.
