A few weeks after public transport drivers in the city of Constanta suddenly stopped work, a similar strike started in the central city of Brasov. The drivers of the local Public Transport Company RAT Brasov started a protest, unhappy about their salaries, which have not been raised for several years. The average salary at the public transport company is some €260. The county’s prefect went to talk to the protesters’ union and with the management to find a solution. The salaries topic had been a discussion subject between the company’s management and the employees for several months.
