Trade union IMPACT has picketed the headquarters of BRD Groupe Société Générale bank in Bucharest. The actions are a reaction to failed negotiations over a new collective agreement. The union is demanding a 100 Lei wage increase for all employees with at least three years of tenure, the reintroduction of the early retirement programme and a 700 Lei grant for workers to purchase outfits in accordance with the bank’s clothing requirements.
