Most workers at a Dacia car plant in Romania will strike on 24 March.
“Negotiations with the management have failed, our strike involving more than 80% of the 13,000 workers will begin on 24 March. Production will stop,” Ion Iordache, a leader at the Dacia trade union told Reuters.
He said Dacia workers building the Logan earn around 1,070 lei ($US445) as basic salary on average a month, before tax and want a pay rise of 550 lei a month in 2008.
Trade unionists have complained that wages were low given the productivity of the workforce and the profit that each employee generates.
Reuters noted that average net wages in Romania jumped 30.7% year-on-year in nominal terms in January to 1,200 lei, boosted mainly by bonuses in the health and education sectors.
