Labor disputes in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Overview

Labor disputes and collective bargaining efforts have intensified in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH). Employees of the FBiH Tax Administration announced plans for a strike following over a year of failed negotiations regarding salary increases and a significant staffing shortage. Although management sought a legal injunction to prevent the strike, the court rejected the request, allowing workers to proceed while legal proceedings continue.

In a broader labor movement, the Union of Independent Trade Unions of Bosnia and Herzegovina is seeking to establish a General Collective Agreement to protect the rights of over 400,000 workers currently lacking such coverage. The proposed agreement addresses wages, meal allowances, and rest periods. While the Union aims for a swift negotiation process, the Employers' Association has insisted that proceedings follow existing Labor Law. The Union has indicated it will seek binding decisions through the Arbitration Court if an agreement is not reached.
