TRADE UNION ACTIVISTS DISTRIBUTE LEAFLETS TO PARLIAMENTS REPS

( Editorial: --> 0505 ) ZAGREB, Mar 18 (Hina) - Activists of the Republic Trade Union of Employees of the Croatian Post and Telecommunications (HPT) Wednesday distributed to parliament representatives and government officials leaflets containing demands related to the passing of a law on the HPT. Several representatives of the Independent Tenants Union also gathered in front of the Croatian National Parliament building just before the start of a House of Representatives session. The HPT union demands that before passing the law on the HPT, parliament representatives adopt the union's suggestions for drafting the law. The union believes the present bill imperils the social security of HPT employees. The Independent Tenants Union demands that former tenancy rights holders be also granted the right to purchase flats and nominal owners be given compensation based on the Constitution and the law.
