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
