The transport unions, which are opposing government reforms, have now rescheduled the strike for Thursday, June 16. While they have lifted an unpopular call to block roads and highways, Thursday’s strike will be even longer than originally planned, from midnight to midnight, and may extend to other professions, such as teachers and businessmen. Earlier today we talked about the situation with political analyst Jiří Pehe, and asked if he believes the court's decision was indeed a mere political move, as the unions have charged. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/pejsa_hlas_rejsky_pomajbik.jpg?timestamp=1591242538 https://english.radio.cz/court-bans-monday-transport-strike-so-unions-plan-a-bigger-one-thursday-8562850 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
