Zagreb - Parliament Speaker Gordan Jandroković on Tuesday issued a message on the occasion of International Workers' Day, marked May 1, underscoring the need for Croatian society to persevere in empowering workers' rights and improving living and working conditions.
Jandroković noted that on International Workers' Day we recall the events of 1886 when workers in Chicago staged protests calling for the recognition of their fundamental rights and dignity and paved the way for more just and humane working conditions.
"Recalling the many years of workers' struggle, today, in an age of new challenges, global market and technological progress, in Croatian society we have to persevere in further empowering workers' rights and ensuring good working and living conditions for all employees," Jandroković said in his message.
In addition to fighting for competitiveness, we also need to continue building a society based on fair and socially-sensitive labour relations in which each individual will have an equal opportunity for a dignified life from their decent and dedicated work or from their pensions, Jandroković said.
