Adria Airways pilots threaten with series of strikes
LJUBLJANA - Pilots at Ardia Airways, Slovenia's airline in German ownership, are planning three three-day strikes next month, starting on 8 September, to force the management to reach a new collective bargaining agreement, the Trade Union of Pilots (SPPS) said in a release. Adria, responding to the announcement, told the STA the talks would continue next week, but declined to comment any further, saying "the talks are internal in nature". The collective bargaining agreement for pilots expires tomorrow, with pilots complaining about "unbearable working conditions" and urging the management to "stop violating the existent collective bargaining agreement".
Protesters demand farm minister's resignation over bear, wolf culling
LJUBLJANA - Some 200 animal rights and environmental activists urged Agriculture Minister Aleksandra Pivec to resign, as they protested against the authorities' plans to cull endangered brown bears and wolves. They believe she is unaware of the role of sustainable agriculture and only promotes the arguments of farmers. The authorities were urged to start implementing other measures that are already available to farmers and to limit the feeding of bears by hunters. The activists accused the hunters of overfeeding the bears for trophies. The protest was held after hunters were allowed to kill nearly 200 bears and eleven wolves under an emergency law passed in June.
