Criza de la metrou. Lider sindical: „Din 16 septembrie, nimeni nu mai garantează că va funcționa”. Metrorex mai are 3000 de lei în conturi

The leadership of the Metro Free Union warns that starting September 16, metro services may cease due to a financial crisis at Metrorex. The company faces severe cash flow issues, with only 3,000 lei left in its accounts, jeopardizing employee salaries. Union representatives have indicated that if salaries are delayed, many employees, particularly train mechanics, may take leave, further exacerbating staffing shortages. The financial troubles stem from a lack of timely budget approval, which has hindered the release of necessary state subsidies. Despite ongoing discussions with the Ministry of Transport, the situation remains critical, with a significant deficit in personnel and unpaid leave days. The union emphasizes that Metrorex's operational challenges are not new and are compounded by historical underfunding.
