jy AT LEAST 800,000 SERBS WILL LOSE JOBS, SAYS WORLD BANK ADVISER
BELGRADE, Jan 24 (Tanjug) - World Bank (WB) adviser Arvo Cuddo said
on Thursday about 800,000 people would
become unemployed in
the course of the ownership
transformation of public and social companies in Serbia over
next few years, and the figure could be even higher if one also
takes into account the privatization of companies with mixed
capital.
The authorities will find themselves in an explosive social situation over the dismissals of the excess work force and that is why the reform process must be implemented
gradually, Cuddo
told an international conference on the
strategy of trade unions in the reform processes, which is
under way in Belgrade. Cuddo warned that in the process
of dismissing the
surplus work force, the Serbian government
must take care of their compensation.Furthermore, it must
engage trade unions and other interest groups and NGOs in
the negotiations on job cuts, he said.
Serbia has good starting positions for carrying out reforms, he said, but if it wishes to implement them successfully, it must establish good cooperation between trade unions and employers. --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://TOPICA.COM/u/?a84x2u.a9WB2D Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================ |
