Losses due to general strike at Dacia closing in on last year’s profit

By the end of last week, however, Dacia officials announced that single-shift production resumed, which could lower the losses.

Dacia employees went on strike on March 24, following failed talks on wage rises between trade union representatives and factory owners. The unionists demanded a RON 550 (€148) wage increase, while Dacia officials are willing to offer RON 130 (€35).

Dacia officials said in a press release that the gross average wage for workers is RON 1,663 (€450), 19 percent above the average Romanian wage.
