Romanian public sector employees are planning protests and strike action in support of a 50 percent wage increase. The education sector will not take part as President Traian Basescu passed a law to increase teachers' wages.
Sed Lex Union leader Vasile Marica said: "Basescu and the Parliament made the right decision. Now we're keeping the government under pressure."
Unionists in healthcare said they are sticking to their protest plans as well, and they are expecting the health minister's wage hike offer by Nov. 3.
The planned protests and general strike is scheduled to take place on Nov. 13.
