Govt, Public Sector Unions Sign Delayed Pay Rise Deal

Ljubljana, 15 November - The government and most of the public sector trade unions signed on Friday an agreement on the payment of the third round of salary rises as set down in an 2008 agreement that was later frozen. The agreement will be enacted in a bill that will be fast-tracked through parliament and will see gross EUR 200m (EUR 120m net) paid out.
