An example is 'Juniorklub', a club for children founded by the metalworkers' union organization in Martin. In 1992 it became a business organization (subsidized by the local authority) but provides the same activities and celebrations of Mother's Day and Children's Day previously organized by the union. The rhythm of this aspect of community life thus remains relatively unaltered. Odborárske spektrum, 1/97, p. 15 and 6/97, p. 11.
