WORKERS WORSE OFF WITH NEW AGREEMENT, UNION LEADER SAYS

ZAGREB, March 8 (Hina) - Labour leader Boris Kunst today criticised the Basic National Agreement, signed last Thursday by Government, business and several labour representatives. Kunst, who is representing the employees in public companies, said that the Agreement reduced the workers' material rights. He said the union leaders who had signed the Agreements had behaved "irresponsibly". "Even if the workers realised all their rights under the Agreement, they would still be for 4,132 kunas a year worse off than they are now," Kunst said. (hina) jn as 081836 MET mar 95
