The finance minister explained to him: Explaining the leaders of the opposition, how can we have a social dialogue when communist flags are flying, hammer and sickle, communists are conducting demonstrations? Is this a dialogue?” He got angry at Stanjur, a trade unionist.

Public sector unions reiterated their readiness to oppose the government’s plans “by any means”. According to them, the attitude of the government is disturbing social peace. They are considering filing a complaint with the State Labor Inspection Office against Prime Minister Petr Fiala’s (ODS) cabinet for alleged violations of labor laws, with the idea of a five percent cut in pay for public service employees. .
According to Stanjura, he is not concerned about this. “I don’t care. I have a meeting with them next Tuesday so we will talk about it face to face. If anyone is considering a complaint, let them file it,” the finance minister said.

According to him, two people can participate in the meeting on behalf of ČMKOS, representatives of the Association of Independent Trade Unions were also invited to the negotiating table.
