Slovenia - Government and unions fail to reach agreement - August 30, 2010

The government and the majority of public sector unions failed to break the deadlock in negotiations on a planned pay freeze in the public sector in what was seen as a last attempt on Monday 30 August. This implies that the government will pass over the unions and will introduce the freeze with a new law, but also that the strike remains on that was announced for 27 September by unions representing about half of public sector workers.
