Ljubljana – The International Workers’ Day, 1 May, will this year again be marked by epidemic-related restrictions. Trade unions call for job security, decent pensions, social security but also for safety at work, so that workers are not exposed to infection. Traditional celebrations with big bonfires on the eve of the holiday will not take place.
The ZSSS trade union confederation pointed to the poor social and economic situation that workers have found themselves in because of the Covid-19 epidemic. It called for recovery that will put people first.
ZSSS head Lidija Jerkič expressed concern that work has become too flexible recently. “The situation has indeed become unpredictable, but we have let work stretch throughout the whole day, workers are available 24 hours a day, private life and work intertwine,” she said, warning this must not continue when the situation normalises again.
