Major Romanian bank BCR employees to protest on Friday

Employees of major financial group Romanian Commercial Bank (BCR) will organize street protests on Friday against what they call a lack of social dialogue, the elimination from working contracts of bonuses according to bank performance and the refusal to have their salaries indexed by 50% of the inflation rate, BCR trade union leader Ciprian Ionescu has told HotNews.ro.

The protest will take place before the BCR Victoriei branch in downtown Bucharest between 10-12 on Friday morning.

Trade union representatives say that unless their claims are answered by bank officials other protests will follow.
