Minister of Labor and Pension System Josip Aladrovi spoke today about the changes to the Labor Law in RTL. He said that the meaning of social dialogue is to seek a compromise solution between the wishes of unions and employers. He also commented on the exclusive poll published by RTL today. You have seen that the majority of citizens support the amendments to the Labor Law and that means that we are on the right track because we anticipate what some general public thinks said Aladrovic. He wants the change in the law to be made in consensus between all parties. If there is an opportunity for employers to have some flexibility and in the long run their competitiveness the rights of workers will be equally represented he said. He also commented on the fact that there is a lot of public talk about working from home as the main topic of the changes. I think that this topic only made us aware that we have certain illogicalities over-regulation in the Labor Law. Certainly in addition to working from home we need to arrange additional work enable those who want to earn extra with a classic employment contract we need to deal with We have a balance with one goal to enable the economy to be competitive through the umbrella law in Croatia said Aladrovic. To a solution by conversation not by strikeHe did not want to answer the question of whether he was afraid of a strike. I wouldnt go talk about these bad scenarios for society. We need to sit down and talk and try to find a solution he said adding that they are aware of the industrial actions that unions can carry out. We dont want to start from that. We want to start as three partners with equal voting rights and find a solution that is good for everyone he said adding that no one can win with the announcement of strikes. Measures to preserve jobsWhen asked when we can expect the implementation of measures to preserve jobs presented last week in the Government the Minister answered that the measures relate to assistance to micro-entrepreneurs up to 10 employees assistance to certain sectors hoteliers caterers passenger transport and organizers of cultural sports and other events and some perhaps smaller sectors that are dependent on those sectors. He added that they have a measure of part-time work. Thats about 100000 employees a month by the end of the year Aladrovic said. Given that there are certain possibilities for mini lockdowns to occur in certain hotspots we have foreseen that all those who are banned from working will be able to receive this compensation that all those who are restricted from work will be included in this measure he said. added that they thus gave some certainty by the end of the year to employers and workers that the state stands by them. A lot of reform moves await usWhen asked when the reforms will take place the Minister said that we have already had several rounds of tax reform and an additional step has been announced since January next year. We mentioned the Labor Law. It is certainly a reform measure if we manage to find a consensus between all parties we have announced the reform of the judiciary we will certainly do it we will certainly start with the reform of salaries in public administration by the end of the year. I am sure that we will bring them to the end concluded Aladrovi.
