“In order to prevent overstocking, car production will be suspended on January 3-4, 2013,” Dacia said.
The auto producer said personnel will be given the option to take two, fully paid, vacation days or they can go into voluntary furlough and receive 85% of their regular salaries.
Dacia’s announcement came a few hours after dozens of workers staged a protest, dissatisfied with the company’s decision to shut down production and impose unpaid furloughs during the period.
The protest was called off after approximately four hours.
