The two main trade union confederations along with several independent unions supported a one-hour strike in protest against government proposals for major changes to labour legislation. The amendments will have serious impact on workers’ rights, including changes to severance pay, compensation for sick leave and paid leave. The trade unions are also very concerned about changes to the law that hinder the position of trade union representatives and the right to collective bargaining and believe that it is wrong that salaries and working hours will no longer have to be stipulated in employment contracts.
