Metro Unions protest on Wednesday on the route of the Ministry of Transport - government.

The employees are dissatisfied with the collective agreement and the possible transfer of Metro under the suborder of the City Hall.

Ion Radoi, the leader of the Free Trade Union Underground, said that the main demand is the collective labor contract.

"After several attempts to communicate with the Ministry, after the steps taken by the Prime Minister, it all has remained without any result. Which were these steps and what they mean?

“They referred primarily to the collective labor contract which has no solution yet to be completed, which would trigger a collective labor conflict within Metrorex and, not least, it refers to that transfer to Bucharest municipality, which we, as representatives of employees, do not know anything and do not receive anything, "said Ion Radoi.

Metrorex union march is scheduled to start at 14.15 at the Ministry of Transport. Unionists will travel to Victoria Square where a rally is scheduled from 15.15-15.45.

During the protest, the traffic will be systematized again in Victoria Square, by providing two-way traffic on the boulevard Airmen to Victoria Path and Blvd. Lascar Catargiu, announces the Traffic Police Brigade Bucharest.
