ZAGREB, 17 Dec (Hina) - Some 1,000 members of six Trade Unions of
Teachers, Scientists and Social Welfare Workers gathered on Tuesday
at Zagreb Sports Square and staged a protest rally against a
Government proposal on the salary policy in 1997. #L#
The Unions demanded a 58%-rise in salaries in the next year
and a half, while the Government proposed a 24%-rise during 1997
and a 'targeted' 25%-increase during 1998. Today's protest rally
was organized after 80% of the Unions' members had refused the
Government's proposal in last week's referendum.
After the rally was over, the Unions' members started for
Banski dvori (the Presidential court), where they demanded that
their delegates once again meet and talk with Government
representatives.
