Transylvania Highway's contractor Bechtel announced plans to cutting a number of 1933 jobs in county Cluj. National Railway company CFR, too, will leave 816 people jobless.
Representatives of the American company Bechtel have announced county Cluj authorities (central Transylvania) on Wednesday, 3rd February 2010, of their plans to cutting jobs among their workers, starting 1st March.
According to union leader Grigore Pop, these massive job losses are due to the Romanian Government's failing to pay Bechtel debts amounting to nearly €300M.
The very same day, Romania's state-owned railway company CFR announced 816 new redundancies. The company faces problems mainly because many of their commercial customers have turned towards private transport alternatives.
CFR union members complain about the lack of transparency regarding the criteria that their managers used to choosing who would lose their job and who would remain.
