Croatian Tobacco Workers Occupy Factory
The workers who have been occupying a tobacco factory in Croatia's capital for nearly two weeks asked the chief state prosecutor Wednesday to investigate their claims that the facility was illegally sold to a local tobacco giant. Thirty-six employees of Tvornica Duhana Zagreb, or Zagreb Tobacco Factory, seized the building earlier this month. They were responding to a decision by the factory's owner to close the factory and retire them.
