Zagreb workers to strike, threatening transport and waste services FAST-MOVING

Zagreb strike ZET Zagreb Holding public transport strike waste collection strike

Approximately 9,200 workers from Zagreb's public transport provider ZET and the Zagreb Holding utility company are scheduled to begin a strike on Monday at 3:30 AM. The strike follows failed negotiations between unions and city authorities regarding salary increases, coefficients, and new collective agreements.

Unions are reportedly demanding a 13 percent base salary increase. Zagreb Holding workers previously requested 12 percent, while ZET unions have introduced new demands including changes to systematization and increased severance pay. City officials, including Mayor Tomislav Tomašević, have criticized the unions for expanding their demands just before the strike, describing the situation as unprecedented in Croatia.

The strike is expected to cause significant disruption to public transport, potentially leaving the city without trams or buses, and will impact municipal services such as waste collection and street maintenance. While essential services like waste collection for hospitals and schools will continue, experts warn that a prolonged strike could lead to sanitary issues and waste accumulation.

Mayor Tomašević has advised citizens to work from home where possible and to organize carpooling. He also stated that the city will not pay for days spent on strike. Educational institutions are being urged to show understanding for students who may face commuting difficulties.
