Strike at Dacia suspended

The strike at Dacia lasted only two days. The company management on Tuesday succeeded in getting the general strike suspended, after the court found in favour of the representatives of the Pitesti-based carmaker. They went to court at the end of last week and requested that the safety of the goods and people on the Dacia platform should be secured, following the violence displayed during the protests. “There’s nothing much we can do when such a ruling is delivered,” the chairman of the Carmaking Industry Union Federation Ilie Miu said. The Arges Court of Appeal suspended the strike until March 15, with the negotiations between management and employees set to continue in the meantime. “The ruling is irrevocable, so that any continuation of the strike is illegal. It remains to be seen what will the employees decide. In other words, this will be the moment of truth,” Miu added. The employees eventually chose to abide by the court ruling and returned to work yesterday morning. ZF
