Romania: Postal workers to launch general strike nationwide from April 1
Postal workers to strike across Romania from April 1. Postal service disruptions likely; protests possible.
Employees of Romanian postal service Posta Romana plan to launch an indefinite general strike from April 1. The purpose of the work stoppage is to demand increased wages and improved pensions.
Unless averted, the work stoppage will almost certainly prompt postal service disruptions nationwide. Participants may protest at post offices or government buildings; heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near any demonstrations that may materialize.
Consider alternatives to postal delivery services for critical shipments and correspondence until the strike ends and operations return to normal. Avoid all demonstrations as a standard precaution. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance.
