Association of the Independent Trade Unions of Croatia (Savez Samostalnih Sindikata Hrvatske, SSSH)

SSSH changed their flag on their headquarters in Zagreb. The new emblem still include a rooster (website). It seems that both red on white and white on red flags are used. Some years ago, there were hoisted flags of all member unions, but nowadays the red and white flags are there mostly, though not every day.

Former flag of SSSH - Image by Željko Heimer, 24 May 1998

The former flag of SSSH is light green with the shield-like symbol of the Association, a white bordered light blue fimbriated light green shield with a red stylized rooster. In the chief are the red-blue stylized initials of the Association, "SSSH", and parts of the Croatian checky shield.
The Association recently organized big demonstrations, which included lots of these flags.
