ZAGREB, March 15 (Hina) - The coordinating body of four trade unions of
workers employed in the Zagreb municipal transport company ZET has
decided to postpone a general strike for a week.#L#
Agreement to postpone the strike, which has been announced for today,
was reached at a meeting on Sunday night.
Union leaders told a press conference that the city authorities stuck
to their position that wages could be increased by not more than 8.5
per cent and that they would agree to the unions' demand for a
10-percent pay rise only if the prices of ZET services were increased
by five per cent.
The four trade unions therefore decided to hold a referendum among the
workers this week to see whether they would agree to the proposal or
would insist on a 10-percent pay rise.
