BiH: Unionized teachers to stage indefinite strike in Herzegovina-Neretva Canton from Sept. 4
Unionized teachers to launch indefinite strike in Herzegovina-Neretva Canton, BiH, from Sept. 4. Protests, business disruptions possible.
Unionized teachers plan to launch an indefinite strike across Herzegovina-Neretva Canton from Sept. 4. The purpose of the labor action is to demand improved salary increases and one-time bonuses, among others.
Picket protests are possible across the canton; possible protest locations include schools, government education offices, and public squares. Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near any demonstrations that materialize. The strike action could also result in some employee absenteeism.
Plan accordingly for increased absenteeism among employees who are parents or guardians of school-aged children during the strike period; consider a liberal leave or telecommuting policy, where possible. Avoid all protests as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near protest sites. Strictly heed all instructions from authorities.
