ZAGREB, Feb 13 (Hina) - Prime Minister Zlatko Matesa talked on
Friday with leaders of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions
of Croatia (SSSH) about the most important current economic and
social issues in the country.
The Prime Minister totally agreed with unions that the non-payment
of wages to workers was "absolutely unacceptable" and promised that
the Government would soon find mechanisms to solve this problem.
The Government's priorities in social welfare continue to be
displaced people, defenders and pensioners, Matesa said.
The Government will definitely carry out pension reform because the
current system cannot survive, the Prime Minister said.
SSSH president Davor Juric repeated the main demands of the largest
union headquarters - regular payment of wages, an increase in the
base of the lowest wage level to 1500 kuna (about US$236) and tax
relief for wages.
If the demands fail to be met by 25 February, Juric announced new
industrial action, including strikes.
