Metrorex union representatives raised concerns about funding deficits, poor working conditions, and staff departures during a meeting with Transport Minister Ștefan Ovidiu Popa. They threaten to strike if negotiations for a new collective labor contract do not begin by November 1. The minister acknowledged the need to address these issues to ensure the proper functioning of the Bucharest metro. Union leaders demand salary increases and improved working conditions, citing air quality and humidity problems. The minister has started consultations but has not yet announced specific measures or a timeline for addressing the unions' demands.
