Workers of the former Salonit factory in Vranjica are seeking compensation for exposure to asbestos

Hundreds of former workers from the now-defunct Salonit factory in Vranjica protested on Wednesday evening, demanding compensation for their exposure to asbestos. The protesters expressed dissatisfaction over being excluded from a proposed law that would provide compensation for asbestos exposure. Former worker Nenad Grgić stated that those who received compensation for loss of employment also deserve coverage under the new law. They hope lawyer Ivan Primorac from Rijeka will support their request to include around 180 former employees in the new legislation. These workers, who have already received €29,000 for lost jobs, seek additional compensation for asbestos exposure. Some of these workers have died, but their heirs could potentially claim rights under the new proposal, which the protesters view as a positive aspect.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a balanced account of the workers' demands and the legal process surrounding potential compensation. It does not take a clear ideological stance but reports on the controversy between different groups of workers and the legislative proposal. There is no evident slant toward any左

Salonite workers seek compensation for asbestos exposure

A group of former workers at the now-closed Salonit factory in Vranjic, Croatia, have protested demanding compensation for exposure to asbestos, in addition to the compensation they already received for losing their jobs. The workers argue that they were exposed to asbestos during their employment and should therefore be included in a new proposed law offering compensation for such exposure. However, the current draft of the law excludes those who have already been compensated for job loss. They are seeking additional compensation of around 29,000 euros per person, and their legal representative, attorney Ivan Primorac, is advocating for their inclusion in the new legislation. Some of these workers have since passed away, but their heirs would be eligible for compensation under the proposed law.
