Ministry officials promptly denied having sent unions a restructuring program that entails the layoff so many employees. ”We never imposed this number on unionists. We’ve only talked about people of retirement age who should leave the railway companies. There are 3.494 employees nearing retirement age and 287 of retirement age,“ said Constantin Axinia, under-secretary of state in the Ministry of Transports and Infrastructure.
Axinia added he was surprised that, after months of talks with unionists, railway employees gathered to protest despite the fact that no layoffs were made. Yet the unionists replied that they would have not called the rally if they would have been told that laying off 12.139 employees is no longer on Governments agenda.
