Croatian trade unionists pressure Croatian parliamentarians for better employment contracts
UATUC and NHS will gather in front of the Croatian Parliament, prior to the session of the Parliament, to distribute leaflets to MPs, explaining the objectives of the WDDW campaign, precarious work as well as pushing for better employment contracts.
In addition the UATUC affiliated trade union (Metalworkers’Industrial Trade Union) organized a petition to collect signatures to reduce the scope of usage of fixed-term contracts - namely, almost 90% of newly-employed workers are employed on fixed-term basis. This action is primarily directed at young workers who are the most affected by this form of employment.
For more secure employment, against precarious work
The EMF Collective Bargaining Policy Conference 2009 launched the 2nd Common Demand:
“For more secure employment, against precarious work”,
which will be included in the collective bargaining demands of all its 75 affiliated trade unions and in future collective bargaining rounds throughout Europe over the next four years.
