Slovenia - Launch of work-to-rule Monday - September 27, 2010

On 27 September, tens of thousands of workers, including police, medical staff, journalists, customs officers and firefighters, launched an open-ended work-to-rule Monday in protest against government’s austerity measures. About 80,000 employees, representing 21 unions, took part in the protest, in particular in Ljubljana. Instead of demonstrating, they performed the legally required minimum of work. Public sector union leader Janez Posedi said the unions want Prime Minister Borut Pahor's centre-left cabinet to abandon plans to freeze public sector wages until 2012.
