According to the information website alfa.lt, government representatives and the social partners reached an agreement on flexible working time on Wednesday, April 14th after several months of tense tripartite consultations. Indeed, the Prime Minister says he reached an agreement with the social partners on the guidelines – the need to encourage recruiters by making the Labor Code even more flexible. But Artūras Černiauskas, leader of the Confederation of Lithuanian Unions, the biggest union in the country, denies agreeing to any concrete measures and demands, in return, more flexible conditions to launch a strike (currently, at least a half of the company’s employees have to give their consent). Even the employers’ representative, leader of the Confederation of Industrialists Mykolas Alelinas, acknowledged this lack of union approval while pointing out that the government will have to decide. However, the government said it would start preparing amendments to the Labor Code within a couple of weeks to be present them to Parliament as quickly as possible.
