[1] On 26 October 2012 the National Assembly passed a law on part-time work by a vote of 39 to 32.

The National Council then attempted to force a referendum on the law, but although the motion passed 18–7 in favour, at least 21 votes were required.

[2] The ŠOS student organisation and the Association of Free Trade Unions of Slovenia (ZSSS) both opposed the new law, as it would create a new class of employees who received fewer social benefits.
