Trade Union Leaders Criticize New Law, Accuse Employers of Influence
The recently enacted law is facing criticism from trade union leaders who argue it primarily benefits the rich and has been shaped with minimal independent assessment. The “centrist trio”—referring to a group of political figures—are being accused of accepting solutions largely derived from employer organizations without sufficient scrutiny. Matija Drmota, executive secretary of the ZSSS for systemic issues, stated, “We sit at the same table and talk about the content, but they also bully us.
‘If this is not possible, we are ready and we are already thinking about all the trade union resources.’”
Damjan Volf, president of the Confederation of Trade Unions 90, echoed these concerns, framing the situation within a broader context. “If the matter goes into the context of a monologue, insistence and actually rewarding the economy, we will use the short element of the workers’ struggle even without any prosecution. This is a strike.”
The criticism follows consultations between state officials, including President, regarding the legislation.
The trade union leaders suggest the law’s implementation represents a concerning trend toward prioritizing economic interests over worker protections. Further details regarding the specific provisions of the law and the ongoing discussions are expected to be released shortly.
