Workers of the company Konstruktor went on strike, demanding six months’ unpaid wages. The workers gathered in front of the company’s headquarter in Split and also claimed two years of unpaid national insurance contributions. Workers are on strike at four major construction sites in Croatia where they build a highway. On some locations the union reports that workers were even left without electricity, heat or water. The company is active in neighbouring countries in general construction works and the construction of motorways, tunnels, bridges and other road facilities.
