Slovenian public sector strike ended, i.e. was frozen until October 13.

This occurred once representatives of the Slovenian Government and 21 public sector Unions signed an agreement which stipulates that the Government would not change or cancel the collective agreement until the specified date.

In this period negotiators from both sides will have to agree on all issues. The biggest problem is the payment of the third quarter of salary harmonization.

The latest Government offer, which the unions found unacceptable, schedules that the payment takes place one year after economic growth exceeds 2.5 percent, since this would cost the Government EUR 100 million.
