Hundreds of workers of the Ford Plant in Craiova have carried out a spontaneous protest on Thursday.
They are angry about how the Ford Automobile Craiova union
hat defended theis interests against the US american automaker,
and they are angry about the latest offer by Ford,
on which the union and the company agreed the day before.
Demission! Demission! Demission!
Thieves! Thieves! Thieves!
Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you!
People think that the collective agreement has already been signed.
That is not true!
The collective agreement has not been signed.
It will be signed when the majority of the union leaders,
the union members, have agreed on it.
Nothing has been signed yet and it will only be signed when the majority agrees.
What is it that people disagree with at the moment?
The don't agree with the wage offer from the management.
What is the offer?
300 Lei (64 Euro) wage increase in 2018.
And 300 Lei more gross wage in 2019.
Cash money coupons raising from 12 to 15 Lei.
Ford Romania did not comment
on the internal disputes between unions und their members.
"The negotiations about the new collective agreement for 2018 and 2019 have been finalized yesterday.
Ford declared: "We have nothing to add to that."
In the first part of the day 200 workers took part in the spontaneous protest.
The figure rose to 1.000
as workers from the second shift joined the protest.
