NAMA EMPLOYEES TO GO ON STRIKE ON TUESDAY

ZAGREB, June 9 (Hina) - About 100 employees of Croatia's largest chain of department stores Nama and members of the Nama employees trade Union (SRTN) gathered at Zagreb's central square, Ban Jelacic Square Friday morning. Nama employees did not stage a protest, they, however, confirmed their decision to go on strike as of Tuesday. The strike will be staged due to a decision of the Nama Supervising Committee to start a bankruptcy process in stead of the process of the financial reconstruction proposed by the Nama management, as well as yesterday's support of the Croatian Government to the decision of the Nama Supervising Committee. Head of the Zagreb office of the Croatian Association of Trade Unions, Mario Ivekovic, said that SRTN activists were distributing flyers to MPs outside of the Croatian National Sabor Building Thursday requesting support for efforts trade unions have been investing in the financial reconstruction of Nama. Ivekovic believes that the Nama financial reconstruction programme is justified and has a perspective, and that the Government failed to adopt it because it was under the pressure of vice prime minister Slavko Linic.
