21 February, 2002After three weeks of collective bargaining, Slovenian employers bend to pressure.
SLOVENIA: After putting considerable pressure on employers during recent collective bargaining for Slovenia's electrical industry, the IMF-affiliated SKEI, which represents workers in this sector, has agreed in principle to a wage increase of 2.7 per cent, from January. The deal must still be ratified by both the trade union members and the employers' organisations.
As employers had resisted the wage increase, SKEI organised media coverage, a protest meeting, a 2-hour warning strike at state level on January 30 and had planned a four-day general strike for the entire branch beginning February 19.
