Croacia - Unionists dismissed in Dubrovnik (2010)

Three leaders of the Trade Union of Tourism and Services (STUH) lost their jobs because of their union activities in the city of Dubrovnik. On 17 June, Libertas Rixos d.o.o. dismissed Junuz Čustović, who had insisted that the company comply with the Labour Code (the irregularities were later confirmed by the labour inspectorate). On 2 July, the same company dismissed Elin Djapo, who had urged the company to comply with health and safety regulations. On 23 July, Importane Resort d.o.o. dismissed Stipe Matić, an experienced butcher, to discourage the other employees from becoming trade union shop stewards.
