ZAGREB, Feb 21 (Hina) - About 5,000 members of the Alliance of
Independent Trade Unions of Croatia (SSSH) gathered in Zagreb's
central square shortly before noon on Wednesday and marched to the
Labour and Social Welfare Ministry building to urge the government
to begin talks on union demands.
The SSSH demands that a government decision on a wage freeze
be revoked, that the lowest basic wage be increased to 1,100 kuna
(DM 300), a more just tax system, that a non-taxable part of
monthly salary be increased from 700 to 1,100 kuna, and that
workers' rights be regulated by collective agreements rather than
by government decrees.
SSSH members began to gather at three locations in the city
around 10.00 hours and then converged on main Ban Jelacic Square
where they were addressed by SSSH president Dragutin Lesar.
Lesar said that talks with the government would begin on
Wednesday. "Because of your arrival here, talks with the government
will begin today," he said.
