By GlobalDataAccording to reports in the French media, this is the most serious conflict between Dacia’s management and the employees since Renault acquired the Romanian company in 1999.
Romanian trade unionists have complained that wages at Dacia are low given the productivity of the workforce and the profit that each employee generates.
More generally, wages are rising strongly in Romania as its economy attracts more inward investment attracted to its low-costs and EU-member status.
