Croacia - Management denies union existence and dismisses shop stewards (2011)

The management of Tankerkomerc, in Zadar, dismissed two stop stewards, Danica Lenkić and Matko Perica, without the consent of their union. The management also tried to deny the existence of a trade union organisation in the company, although they had received information on the registration of the Autonomus Union Tankerkomerc in February 2010. In November, the union submitted a complaint to the Municipality Court in Zadar over the dismissal of the two shop stewards and over salary arrears of more than ten months.
