Unions say govt expelled them from ESS with ignorance of social dialogue

Ljubljana, 14 May - Trade union confederations said they had decided to leave the Economic and Social Council (ESS), the country's industrial relations forum, because the government had practically abolished social dialogue and thus deprived them of the seats at the negotiating table. They warned the government's action was leading to a conflict.
