Liberty Galați will place around 2,200 employees on technical unemployment starting November 1, 2026, due to significant operational challenges. The management cites energy supply issues and employee transportation difficulties as key reasons. Essential departments will remain operational to ensure safety and production capacity. Many employees have not received salaries since May, prompting protests for clarity on job security. The Cartel Alfa union has urged government intervention to address unpaid wages and the declining steel industry. A planned restart of production has been delayed due to high energy costs and supply chain issues.
