Croatia - Unions plan actions ahead of Firefighters' Day - April 30, 2024

The Coordination of Unions and Associations of Professional Firefighters organised union actions and a firefighter protest on 4 May, Firefighters' Day. The dissatisfaction stems from the inequality in salaries among firefighters across various levels – local, regional, and national. They are unhappy about the failure to implement changes to rules and regulations regarding allowances, leading to a reduction in firefighters' rights. At a meeting of representatives in public fire brigades held at the headquarters of the SDLSN trade union, details of protests were agreed upon. Unions have declared their determination to fight for fair working conditions and respect for their rights, with these protests representing a significant step towards achieving these goals.
