Extraordinary session of the House of Representatives of the FBiH Parliament scheduled for Friday at 2 PM, USS BiH cancels protests

The session of the House of Representatives of the FBiH Parliament has been scheduled for Friday, July 31st, starting at 2 PM, writes the BiH news agency Patria.

Representatives received an invitation to the session with the first two items on the agenda:

- Reform Agenda for BiH for the period 2015-2018

- Labour Law (urgent procedure) 

Among other things, representatives will discuss the Bill on Amendments to the Law on Contributions, Foreign Investments, and Citizens' Claims in the Privatization Process.

We remind you that today a session of the House of Peoples was held where the Labour Law was adopted with 28 votes in favor and three against. Representatives of SDP, DF, SBB, and Our Party left the session. 

Today, protests by several thousand people against the proposed Labour Law were also held, and after the law was adopted, workers were invited by the USS BiH to disperse. 

The Union of Independent Trade Unions of BiH (USS BiH) has abandoned the protests that were scheduled for tomorrow in front of the FBiH Parliament. Today, a session of the Presidency of USS BiH was held, after which it was decided that the protests would not continue tomorrow.

Instead of a mass gathering of workers, as was the case today, union representatives will attend the session of the FBiH House of Representatives tomorrow, where they will present 26 amendments to the Labour Law adopted today to the representatives. If the law passes the parliamentary procedure tomorrow, the Union warns that it will organize a general strike in FBiH.
