On 28 April, the National Federation of Workers' Councils in Hungary (MOSZ) will again place wreathes at a memorial in the city of Pécs.
This year, however, the event will be followed by a Commemoration Day meeting with guests invited from all segments of Hungarian society. Additionally, in Budapest, MOSZ will host a conference to address workplace stress, reflecting negotiations now underway on that subject between worker and bosses inside the National Interest Reconciliation Council.
These negotiations are guided by the Hungarian legal system, and are held inside a framework agreement between the social partners as outlined by the European Union.
According to studies, over 50% of all Hungarian workers are employed in high-stress work environments. Trade unions are concerned that current human resources strategies are uncaring and callous in dealing with such workplace situations. This trend must be reversed, says MOSZ, and the 28 April conference and negotiations are aimed at bringing this about.
