WORKERS' UNIONS' ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT CONGRATULATES LABOUR DAY

( Editorial: --> 0893 ) ZAGREB, May 1 (Hina) - "By following the workers' tradition and fight for workers' rights, we are today, for the 108th year in a row, joining the workers of Europe and the world in the celebration of Labour Day," president of the Association of Croatian Workers' Unions (URSH), Boris Kunst said at Zagreb's Maksimir Park on Friday. There are no more excuses for continuing life in poverty and without prospects, for most to become poor while a small section of the population is becoming rich by dubious means, Kunst said. "We no longer want to take such injustice and increasing social differences," he stressed. Kunst announced new protests to which the URSH would invite all workers, unions, political parties, citizens' associations and others to point out to the government social and economic problems.
