Description
Pošta Slovenije, a state-owned company providing postal and financial services as well as logistics services, reached an agreement with the two trade unions which consisted in hiring an additional 190 workers. The collective agreement was signed on 18 November 2019, just a day before the announced strike of workers. The strikers demanded better working conditions, raise of wages and decrease in workload through new employment. According to the plan, the company will progressively implement trade unions’ requests within two years.
