7 October 2009 – In the interval of just few days, Croatian Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor received letters from both ETUC General Secretary John Monks and ITUC General Secretary Guy Ryder expressing their concerns about the announcements of Croatian Government to introduce further liberalisation and flexibilisation through the new Labour Law. While John Monks was especially concerned about the provisions on working time and fixed-term contracts, Guy Ryder, in addition, also emphasized the lack of Government’s effort in continuing ratification of the important ILO conventions.
