Also, the party wants the unemployment benefit to be raised to at least 100,000 forints (EUR 276) a month, Imre Komjathi, the Socialist Party’s deputy leader, told a press conference held in front of the Continental factory in Mako, in southern Hungary, on Thursday, adding that the job-seekers benefit should be available for nine months.
Komjathi said companies that entered into the government’s the strategic agreement “trampled on trade unions”, adding that Continental was a “disgrace”. He accused the company of putting refrigerators and showers normally used by workers off limits during the coronavirus pandemic, as well as of blocking trade union efforts during its preparations for a strike.
