Influx from labor force from abroad must be regulated in Slovakia, announced Labor, Social Affairs and the Family Minister Jan Richter in the occasion of the international May Day on Sunday.

"There are still 100,000 people signed on at labor offices, which is more than in 2008, when the unemployment rate was relatively the lowest. There's scope for working with Slovak people and preparing them for the labor market," stressed Richter.

Therefore, the minister can accept bringing in workers from abroad only when this concerns regulated sectors that appear to be suffering from a lack of a skilled labor force vis-a-vis the Slovak labor market.

At the same time this must take place only following proper communication between the relevant employer and the local trade unions, concluded Richter. Enditem
