ZAGREB, May 27 (Hina) - Social partners in Croatia failed to agree
on solutions that would satisfy all three parties after Tuesday's
discussion on the final draft amendments to the Labour Act at a
meeting of the Economic-Social Council (GSV). #L#
Deputy Prime Minister Goran Granic said after the meeting that he
expected the amendments to be presented to the government and
parliament.
GSV chairman Davor Juric stressed that employers and unions had no
reason to be satisfied or object to the amendments, because they
expected measures that would compensate for the loss of some
workers' rights.
The head of the Croatian Employers' Association, Zeljko Ivancevic,
said that not even the minimum of demands set by employers had been
met to enable the flexibility of work and greater competitiveness.
Both unions and employers will fight for their interests by
lobbying in parliament which should discuss the changes to the act
in the first half of June, it was said at a press conference.
