Metal Production and Manufacturing Workers' Union

Last updated

The Metal Production and Manufacturing Workers' Union (Serbo-Croatian : Sindikat radnika proizvodnje i prerade metala) was a trade union representing workers in the metal industry in Yugoslavia.

The union was founded in 1974, when the Union of Industrial and Mining Workers was split up. Like its predecessor, it affiliated to the Confederation of Trade Unions of Yugoslavia. [1] By 1990, it had grown to 980,000 members and was led by Slavko Uršič. [2] That year, it split into various more localised unions, including the Independent Trade Union of Croatian Metal Production and Processing Workers. [1]

The economy of Croatia is a developing high-income service based economy with the tertiary sector accounting for 60% of total gross domestic product (GDP). After the Revolutions of 1989, Croatia went through a process of transition to a market-based economy in the 1990s. Its economy suffered badly during the Croatian War of Independence. After the war, the economy began to improve. Before the financial crisis of 2007–08, the Croatian economy grew at 4–5% annually, incomes doubled, and economic and social opportunities dramatically improved.

Minimum wage in Croatia is regulated by the Minimum Wage Act and is defined as the lowest gross monthly wage for a full-time worker, based on a 40-hour work week. For workers who do not work full time, minimum wage is lower, in proportion to their working hours. Additional compensation for overtime work, night work, and work on Sundays and holidays is not included in the minimum wage. Minimum wage is recalculated once a year and is effective throughout the next calendar year.
