Croatia -Ship yard workers continue the protest -October 18, 2013

Workers at the Croatian shipyard of Brodosplit in Adriatic port of Split went on strike. The 4,000-strong workforce is unhappy with the government plans for the privatisation of the country’s shipyards and protests also the fact that wage payment has been delayed. Unions have backed the strike and workers have demanded talks with the company president. A few days after the strike workers blocked all entrances to the shipyard, expressing dissatisfaction with the fact that disciplinary proceedings had been launched against those who took part in the protests.
