The Nezavisnost (Independence) association and a health workers' union will join the Asscociation of Serbian Unions (SSS) week-long strike and street protests. Union leaders said that they would take the demonstrators for a protest march to the Serbian parliament building Tuesday, but Mihajlovic warned them that gatherings in front of the legislature are disallowed while it is in session. "I would like to remind organizers of the protest that the ban has been brought to their attention," he said at a press conference. Chief of Independence, Branislav Canak, said that the leaders will "try to honor" the law. "But if many people come and express the wish to go for the walk to the parliament, we will go," he told the YU-Infot television. The parliament on Monday opened a regular session, with the labor bill among items on its agenda. (C)2001. dpa Deutsche Presse-Agentur _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
