Romanians strike against austerity measures: Voice of Russia
Romanian unionists have started an indefinite walkout against latest austerity measures. There are pickets around every public facility in the country including hospitals, schools and even police stations. The number on strike is closing on a million as industrial workers start joining in.
Back on Sunday, the government tabled bills to cut pensions and public sector pay, axe social programs and sack some 300 thousand government employees. It said it was following directives from the International Monetary Fund.
