Almost 600 employees from the Moldova Railway are still on forced leave, the measure being extended until the end of March. The general manager of the company, Serghei Cotelinic, specified for IPN that this is happening because the volume of goods transported has not reached the planned level.
The CFM Director specified that the 600 people in technical unemployment are administrative employees, while the workers directly involved in the transport activity continued to work throughout the entire period.
Serghei Cotelinic explained that employees on unemployment work according to a special schedule, being periodically called to work, depending on the needs of the company.
This is the second time the company has extended the forced leave, which began on December 22. During the technical unemployment, employees benefit from 55% of their salary.
