The Romanian Minister of Transport announced collective layoffs affecting around 1,500 CFR Marfă employees, with discussions ongoing to secure 56 million lei for unpaid salaries and compensations. Employees are owed four months of salaries and will receive five compensatory salaries upon dismissal. Some workers may transition to Carpatica, which is facing a staff shortage. The situation is critical as CFR Marfă's potential bankruptcy is anticipated by the European Commission, raising concerns about infringement procedures. Union representatives have warned that train operations in Romania could be severely impacted due to funding shortages.
