When life outshines any movie that has ever been made! A story with Romanian and Ukrainian flavours

On 26 - 27 July, an ETF delegation visited Bucharest in a fact-finding mission aiming to gather the last round of evidence on the state of social dialogue and the anti-union climate in Romania.

The ETF wrote to the EU Commission President and Commissioners to inform them of the deteriorating situation in Bucharest metro, the attacks on labour rights and call for a meeting to discuss the way forward.

Join us in telling Metrorex and the Romanian government they must respect basic labour rights: collective bargaining and social dialogue! Say no to union busting in Bucharest metro! Sign our LabourStart campaign!

In a statement today, the ETF Executive Committee condemns the attacks on trade union USLM and calls on the Romanian government to engage in genuine and systematic social dialogue.

ETF urges the Romanian government to engage with USLM, guarantee the security of USLM President, respect metro employees’ right to social dialogue and withdraw redundancy plans.

Women workers face terrible violence and harrassment - and transport workers are some of the most affected. Today we asked the European Commission and the Romanian EU Presidency to push for an ILO Convention on violence and harassment in the world of work at the centenary ILO Conference next week in Geneva.
