After a two-hour strike reported in the January newsletter, locomotive service unit workers at CFR railways operator organised another spontaneous strike. The workers are demanding payment of their long overdue wages. Earlier this month CFR promised payment, then announced a slight delay. When this was followed by a later message that they had attempted to transfer the wages but that the banks had frozen the CFR accounts, the workers went on strike again.
