Around 300 employees of Liberty Galați protested due to unpaid salaries since May and uncertainty about the plant's future. The protest occurred before a planned technical unemployment starting November 1, affecting most workers. The management cited financial difficulties and operational issues as reasons for the temporary halt in operations. The National Trade Union Confederation Cartel ALFA has called for government intervention to ensure salary payments and transparency in the plant's sale process. Employees have been working without full pay, and previous attempts to sell the plant have failed, with the starting price significantly reduced. Union leaders emphasized the importance of the steel industry for Romania and Europe.
