Nečas: union threats will not derail government plan to stabilise public finances

For his part, Prime Minister Nečas said on Friday that the government would be willing to discuss planned cuts with union representatives. He added, however, that threats and protests would not deter the government from its plans to stabilise the public finances, which unfortunately would not come without extensive savings. Mr Nečas warned the unions not to behave like their counterparts in Greece and Hungary, who he said had contributed to their countries’ economic woes.
