Minimum Wage Initiative Gathers Momentum as Coalition on Board

Ljubljana, 10 September - Seven trade union associations filed in parliament on Thursday more than 11,000 verified signatures supporting a proposal to redefine the minimum wage. While such grassroots legislative motions were quickly voted down in the past, the ruling coalition has already come out in support of the initiative.
