Written by  Jul 07, 2018

The strike planned for this Monday by the staff of the national airline, Croatia Airlines, has been postponed. According to reports in the national media representatives of the staff met with the Croatian Prime Minister, Andrej Plenkovic, on Friday and the groups agreed that their grievances will be dealt with after the government’s summer recess.

Amongst other points the union is requesting more holiday days, an agreement on a regular flight crew list, increasing sick leave benefits from 70 to 90 percent of salaries, as well as full-time employment for seasonal staff who have been employed for longer than a year, amongst other points.

However, the management of Croatia Airlines responded and said that any staff member who went on strike would lose their pay for the days spent on strike.

The Prime Minster has now stepped in and assured the representatives of the Croatia Airlines pilots, cabin crew and ground staff that the problem would be assessed by the government.

“The union’s representatives presented Croatia Airlines’ problems to the Prime Minister, who expressed his understanding and said he was prepared to ensure that all the necessary conditions for the conclusion of the collective agreement were met,” the press release said.
