END THE EXPLOITATION!

That's the main slogan of thousands of workers in the Romanian town Pitesi where they were producing the Dacia, Europe's cheapest car. But now, since almost two weeks, nothing is going on anymore because 9,500 workers are in strike.

While Dacia, a part of the French Renault Group, makes every year massive profits (in 2007: 150 Million Euro), the workers and their families must struggle to survive with only 160 to 280 Euro per month. But the price for the average monthly live in Romania is at least 300 Euro.. and the prices are increasing monthly!

That's the reason why the Dacia workers are striking. They are demanding an increase of 550 lei (€150) per month (the management is offering only 67 Euro), a share of company profits, higher bonuses at Christmas and a discount on cars produced at the factory.

The management of Dacia/Renault is offering now 67 Euro more per month. But for the striking workers - of course - that's just a provocation...

But while the Dacia workers are in strike - and many people in Romania call it a small revolution (the strike is the first main walkout in Romania since 20 years) Dacia has nothing better to do as to broadcast following strange advertisement in the TV:

"Revolution - The New Dacia Logan.."
