Subway union leader Ion Radoi said in a press release Friday that public transport employees will decide next week whether the strike would be rescheduled or called off.

Bucharest public transport employees had announced earlier they would be on strike between 4 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday unless their wage demands were accepted and resolved by Monday.

Subway employees went on a two-hour warning strike on September 17 and 3,000 unionists rallied outside the government headquarters on September 18 calling for higher wages.
