Romanian CFR Marfa Employees Threaten Protest, Demand Due Pay

The president of the "Ramuri-Vagoane" Federation, Dumitru Dobre, told MEDIAFAX Friday that CFR Marfa employees are displeased that they have not received the money promised for the work done in May, while management received salary. The employees, thus, threatened they will take to the streets Friday.

"CFR employees received on June 12 half of the advance for May, which they were supposed to collect on May 30, while the other half of the advance will be paid on June 19. The rest of the salary for May, which is due Monday (June 15), will be transferred by the end of the month, or in the first week of July," CFR Marfa general manager Calin Gratian told MEDIAFAX on June 15.

He explained the delays are due to the fact that the company needs to pay, this month, an installment for a EUR120 million syndicated loan, contracted in 2007 from a consortium of banks.
