Unions Urge Govt to Return to Talks on Pension Reform

Ljubljana, 6 September - Trade unions called on the government to return to negotiations on its proposed pension reform only days before the government is expected to send the relevant legislation to parliament. The government has said that talks are still possible, but only if they prove constructive.
