The Federation of Carriers and Road Workers Trade Unions of Moldova sent an open letter to acting Prime Minister Gheorghe Brega by which it expresses its concern about the difficult situation of the road maintenance companies S.A. “Drumuri” (“Roads”), IPN reports.

“The Ministry of Finance’s debts to the road fund exceed 550 million lei. This caused the State Road Administration to accumulate debts to contractors. The companies SA “Drumuri” have paid salaries with delay since September. The legislation on the remuneration of salary earners is thus violated. The employees are dissatisfied and conflicts appear,” reads the letter.

According to the Federation’s chairman Boris Rojnevschi, such a behavior towards road workers is inadmissible as a special road fund was set up to cover the related costs, but the employees do not get their salaries. The accumulated revenues are used for other purposes.

In order to prevent an organizational conflict, the Federation asked that the road fund should be managed correctly and that the economic entities should be remunerated for the executed works.
