Dacia Renault communication director, Liviu Ion, on Tuesday said the plant’s management is still open to talks with the unionists, according to Mediafax.
Ion said the plant’s management challenged in court the legality of the general strike initiated by the employees, filing a complaint with the Agres Court.
Over 10,000 employees of Dacia Pitesti went on general strike last Monday after failed negotiations for higher wages.
Employees will be on strike indefinitely after the company management proposed a 12% pay rise which was rejected by workers as too low, the report said.
