Civil service collective bargaining could be delayed

The annual round of negotiations in the civil service that normally take place in August could be delayed until after 12 September as some union organizations want to negotiate after the referendum on constitutional change. The changes being voted on in the referendum include important rights on trade union membership, the right to strike and right to negotiate collective agreements. In the current round of negotiations the KESK federation called for a TL300 (€156) increase in civil service pay to take the minimum salary to TL1650 (€856).

Unions protest over delays in collective bargaining

Italy

The public sector federations, FP-CGIL, CISL-FP and UIL-FPL, have expressed their anger in delays to negotiations covering over a million workers in public health and local government. The unions argue that the basis for negotiations across the public sector were laid out in the framework agreement of November 2016 and there is no justification for not moving forward quickly with the sector-level negotiations. The three federations are planning a mobilisation for 5 February to put pressure on the government and employers.

Civil service pay change could discriminate against women

Croatia

The SSSH trade union confederation has expressed its concerns about the new salary law covering civil servants. The law will abolish bonuses based solely on years of service and introduce new performance-related additions. The SSSH is worried that the performance-related elements of pay will be too subjective and allow heads of departments too much discretion over pay. The confederation is particularly concerned about the impact of women on maternity and/or sick leave who might miss out on being evaluated if they fail to meet the minimum requirement of six months’ work in a particular year.
