Croatia:
Uni Commerce starts organising project as multinational retailers enter the country 

Together with the commerce trade union, Uni Commerce has launched an organising project in Croatia. Many of the major European multinationals are now entering this country, building up supermarket networks, discount stores and cash and carry markets. The organising project, supported by Norwegian Uni Commerce affiliate HK, is targeting these companies.

Bojana Adzic has recently started her work as organiser in the Croatian commerce trade union. Based in the capital Zagreb, she will recruit members in multinational stores all around the country. She will also be responsible for training and information activities and for building up new trade union structures in these companies.

Part of a larger Uni Commerce organising drive, the Croatian project will also comprise a web site and an information network, which will help union representatives and members to work together in this country, where distances between different parts are often long. This week, Bojana Adzic, the new union organiser, participates in a Uni seminar for webmasters in Nyon, Switzerland. She has also met with Jan Furstenborg, head of the Uni Commerce department, to discuss how the project will be set up.
