That's why precarious workers mostly stayed home, according to their supporters, who expect the coalition to include precarious work as an issue in the coalition agreement.
The head of the Institute for Precarity Studies Črt Poglajen said the approach of the political right toward precarity has not turned out to be successful, so it is up to a center-left coalition to find solutions. "Regardless of the makeup of the new government, the expectations are clear: It's crucial that the government incorporates precarious work into the coalition agreement, treats it as a long-term project, forms a coordinating body to prepare solutions and incorporate them into the social agreement, and introduces a standard for non-precarious employment."
The Movement for Decent Employment and the Union of Precarious Workers are in favor of a center-left government, based on the replies provided by political parties on this issue. Which promises convinced them?
Marko Funkl says: "The most realistic promise seems to be sick leave and greater controls, which were supported by all political parties except those who provided written responses or avoided answering altogether. How much of this can be realized depends on them. It's up to us to exert pressure and make them carry out their promises."
