CROAT TRADE UNIONS DON'T ACCEPT CONCEPT OF 2ND STAGE IN STABILIZAT

STABILIZAT $ ION PROGRAMME ZAGREB, April 3 (Hina) - The association of independent trade unions of Croatia (SSSH) did not accept the concept, modes and methods for implementing the second stage of the Government's stabilization programme, the SSSH leader, Dragutin Lesar, said today. Trade unions hold that the concept guarantees neither a necessary degree of the social justice nor the achievement of the scheduled goals. The second stage of the stabilization programme concentrates on the restructuring of state-run companies, mostly loss-running firms, and on the reorganization of banks. The SSSH believes that the planned measures of the Government in this stage should include some incentives to better employment as well as steps aimed at preventing of the capital outflow from the country and monopolizing. The SSSH asks that the Government should publish the entire arrangement with the IMF and the World Bank and inform the public of deals and agreements Croatia has concluded lately. The SSSH warns that there is no draft act on labour, and fears that the Government has no "political willingness for the real social partnership," and that the ruling party (HDZ) does not care about welfare state or the social justice, according to Lesar.
