Unions at Budapest public transport company BKV have announced that on 7 February they will hold a demonstration in front of the company's headquarters. The demonstration is intended to call attention to the management's failure to consult employees on collective contracts and wages, the organisers said. Attila Gulyas, chairman of the local union said it was detestable that the central and municipal governments were keeping BKV on the brink of bankruptcy, which means that the standard of services is going down.
