ZAGREB, Dec 14 (Hina) - A Croatian independent union of high school
employees started a one-day strike on Monday morning.
The union, a member of a negotiating committee of five school
unions, demands a 12 per cent salary bonus in 1999, negotiations
with the employers and implementation of parliamentary decisions
on a selective salary increase.
The strike is to go on until 8pm today.
Although they supported it, primary school unions in the
negotiating committee are not participating in the strike.
According to these unions, the reason for this is a weakened
position of primary school unions, caused by the non-participation
of the majority union - the Union of Croatian Teachers (SHU) - in the
activities of the negotiating committee.
The SHU is negotiating salaries in 1999 with civil servants unions
and the Government.
