General strike at the Romanian Post Office
Workers at the Post commenced a widespread strike on Monday in Bucharest and across various counties. Their union asserts that, starting July, over 18,000 out of 21,000 employees will be earning the minimum wage in the economy. They are demanding a net increase of 400 lei in wages and loyalty bonuses. The Postal Workers’ Union, which initiated the general strike, alleges that the company is exerting pressure on employees by relocating Bucharest staff to the Cluj logistics hub to fill in for those on strike.
The National Trade Union Bloc, through the Romanian Postal Workers Union, accuses postal workers, union members, of pressure to go on strike.

The backbone of the Romanian economy are the civil sector workers and not the SME. Nothing can operate without them. So respect them and do not humiliate them with low salaries.
