Podgorica (MINA-BUSINESS) - The striking committee of the trade union of the Niksic Trebjesa brewery on Thursday repeated its call to the management to start talks on the collective agreement, committee chairman Bozidar Perovic said. Perovic told Mina-business that the committee had written to state institutions seeking help in the dispute between the brewery#s workers and representatives of the majority owner, the Belgian company Interbrew. It said it had still not received an answer to the trade union offer for the management to accept parts of the agreement that were not contentious and to allow an arbitrage to decide on the unresolved demands. Perovic said the present strategy of the management consisted of convincing the workers to halt their strike and continue production which was halted on May 20. He said the workers were in an impasse because they could not back on their demands and the management has said they had offered their maximum. Members of the striking committee have been in the factory compound since last Thursday, when the brewery was closed. Montenegrin prime minister-designate Filip Vujanovic had offered to help in the arbitrage between workers and management but the majority owner has not yet answered the offer.
