UNCONSTITUTIONAL DECISION ON WAGES OF HEALTH WORKERS

ZAGREB, June 7 (Hina) - The trade union of workers in hospitals and officials in the public health issued today a statement in which it welcomed the conclusion of the Croatian Constitutional Court to rescind a decision of the Croatian Office for Health Insurance on wages of employees in the public health. The Court established that the decision had violated the Croatian Constitution. The trade union also welcomed the intentions of Minister of Health Andrija Hebrang to resign from his office due to the fact that he had signed the decision which disobeyed the Constitution. But the Minister Hebrang had signed the decision thinking it was in conformity to the Constitution, and therefore he should resign from the post of Minister of Health, said the same statement. The trade union said that it expected a collective agreement would be reached and signed by the end of June on wages for employees in the public health. 071817 MET jun 94
