ETUC and ITUC letter of protest over labour law

Croatia

The European and global trade union confederations - ETUC and ITUC - have written to the prime minister in support of the Croatian trade unions and to express their concerns about draft labour legislation. The ETUC and ITUC argues that the effect of the legislation will be to undermine social dialogue and marginalise the trade unions. Unions organised a protest outside parliament on 26 February to coincide with the latest reading of the legislation. There was also a solidarity strike across the country on 25 February in support of two separate disputes at a knitwear factory and medical rehabilitation centre. The solidarity strike was used again to highlight opposition to the labour law.

ETUC and ITUC write protest letter to government

Romania

The European and global trade union confederations (ETUC and ITUC) have written to the Romanian government to protest against the decision not to implement a pay increase for public sector workers. The letter also challenges the government on anti-union statements and threats to remove the right of trade unions to collect membership fees through check-off. EPSU also wrote to the government along similar lines in January and followed up this letter in March – with no reply received so far to either letter.

Confederation protests over labour law reforms

Romania

The ALFA Cartel trade union confederation, including EPSU affiliates Hipocrat and Sigol, organised a number of demonstrations in cities across the country on 2-4 October. The protests were over the coalition government’s failure to do anything about the labour law reforms that it promised to repeal when in opposition. The Confederation reports that the undermining of social dialogue has meant 1,000 fewer collective agreements this year. There have been attacks on pay and conditions, but no sign of any increase in jobs.
