And it focuses on a special situation in Bacau, where Chinese workers at a textile factory have turned against the management in a dispute over salaries.

The newspaper.reports that while the manager complains that the law discriminates between local employees and immigrant employees - who may earn some 300 USD, three times the minimum salary a Romanian would receive - the Chinese workers are stunned they earn far from the 20,000 USD they hoped to earn in a three-year period.

Evenimentul Zilei also reports on the strike of Chinese workers in Bacau and quotes the Chinese women planning to return home, after only six months in Europe.

Still, it notes that they have little to return to in Asia as one worker, who had worked abroad before coming to Romania, said “it is worse in Cambodia than in Romania, and the weather is worse still”.

And Gandul writes that about 200 Chinese workers employed at a textile factory in Bacau, eastern Romania, have attacked their general manager with forks and spoons yesterday, demanding higher salaries.

The newspaper quotes manager Sorin Nicolescu, who claims the workers have been taunted into launching such a strike by the company that recruited them in China, which makes nice commissions based on the salaries of such workers.
