Romanian customs officials began a two-hour warning strike on Wednesday, halting work between 12:00 and 14:00. The strike stems from discontent over working conditions and the new salary law, which employees claim fails to uphold professional and wage rights. Union representatives allege a lack of dialogue with authorities has stalled resolution of the labor dispute. Specifically, workers are protesting the loss of previously held salary benefits. The strike is intended as a demonstration of dissatisfaction and a push for renewed negotiations. Further industrial action has not been ruled out if demands are not met. The disruption is expected to cause delays at border crossings.
