United Trade Unions of Serbia "Sloga"

United Trade Unions of Serbia "Sloga" was formed in 2008 by Željko Veselinović. It had regularly organised International Workers' Day walks. USS Sloga later organised media campaigns regarding workers' conditions, and had also criticised the economic model that has been pursued by Aleksandar Vučić. It participated as a political organisation in the 2014 parliamentary election as part of the Democratic Party (DS) coalition list. Veselinović became a member of the National Assembly afterwards. USS Sloga regained its seat in the National Assembly following the 2022 general election. == Ideology ==

It has been described as a left-wing trade union. Veselinović is a member of Trade Union Network of the Party of the European Left and European Social Forum. It supports changing the Labor Law. USS Sloga had also criticised the approach of other trade unions in Serbia. In 2017, they had argued that increasing the minimal wage for 15% would not be enough to cover the costs of a minimum consumer basket. In August 2022, they had proposed an increase in the minimum wage, wages, and pensions. The trade union was a part of several opposition coalitions, including the Alliance for Serbia, United Opposition of Serbia, United for the Victory of Serbia, and Serbia Against Violence. == Electoral performance ==
