ZAGREB, July 12 (Hina) - Today's protest when the railway traffic
was discontinued for half an hour, was also conducted in an illegal
manner, the Croatian Rail (HZ) Management said on Monday in
response to the obstruction of the traffic between 11.15 and 11.45
am Monday during the stoppage organised by the trade unions of
engine drivers and HZ infrastructure workers. #L#
The Management demanded the judicial protection only due to the way
in which unions have conducted the strike, labelling it as a
protest, in order to avoid the legal consequences of the strike,
such as the non-payment for time not spend at work, the Management
warned.
"Be sincere toward the Croatian general public and admit that you
have everything paid when you do not drive during 'the protest', the
Management called on unionists.
The Management also refused another two reasons for the protest.
The announced lay-off among engine drivers has not started yet and
when it commences it will be implemented in compliance to law and
the respect for the rights of employees.
In regard to an investigation into the attack against a leader,
engine drivers' union, Ivan Tolic, the Management, just as the
trade unions, would like that probe may be completed very soon.
