Trade unions call for conditions to be put in place to make privatisation process transparent: including improvements to the takeover act, boosting the role of state institutions in the procedures and protecting shop stewards and worker representatives on management and supervisory boards.
The joint trade unions have called for a rally in front of the government building to demand a halt in the ongoing privatisation drive in the country, which they believe is ‘aimless’. Representatives of all seven trade union confederations argued that the country lacks a strategy to answer questions about how it wants to manage state assets and what the sale of state companies could mean for the employees and the country's development. They call for conditions to be put in place to make privatisation process transparent: including improvements to the takeover act, boosting the role of state institutions in the procedures and protecting shop stewards and worker representatives on management and supervisory boards.
