Energy firm undermines collective agreement

Romania

EPSU has written to the Prime Minister and energy minister calling for urgent action to deal with serious problems at the Hidroelectrica and Hidroserves energy companies. The problems began with the insolvency of Hidroelectrica and actions taken by the administrator. Cutbacks to maintenance services have created serious safety risks. Around 1500 jobs have already been cut, a further 1000 are under threat and collective agreements are being undermined. The letter from EPSU provides further information.
