“We want to be paid, receive our lunch tickets and we demand an explanation for the sudden closure of the plant”
Romania and Bulgaria - On July 10, on the outskirts of Covasna, a small mountainous town in Romania's central region of Transylvania, about 30 garment factory workers who were recently made redundant launched a protest outside their workplace - the Textile Blue Wash factory.
With the building's gate locked behind them, and its yard empty, they demanded their jobs back and called for salaries of up to two months to be paid.
