House of Peoples of the Parliament of the Federation of BiH adopted the Law on Labor and afterwards this law wasbe discussed in the House of Representatives of the FBiH Parliament.
Member of the BiH Presidency and President of SDA Bakir Izetbegović told FENA about his views on implementation of the new Law on Labor.
“BiH is the only European country which still has not adopted that law, which means a much more flexible position for employers, because it will enable them to hire people more and faster. On the other hand, there is a great pressure when it comes to lawsuits based on collective contracts, which brings millions of BAM of pressure on the budget and which is increasing every month by fifty million and we need to stop that. That means we are stopping the pressure on the budget which could lead to no pensions, no disability allowances, no money for a lot of things and those two things would solved,“ said Izetbegović.
He finds that this law is not perfect and he is sorry that the agreement was not reached with the Union, but talks will continue, because agreements will be offered that will amend and revise the law.
“This law is part of the reform agenda and it is maybe the most painful and most demanding law within the agenda, it was brave to adopt it and I am certain everyone will eventually realize we did the right thing,“ said Bakir Izetbegović.
