Romanians protest in Bucharest over new Labor Code

Romanian unionists are protesting Wednesday in Romanian capital city Bucharest, near the Parliament Palace, over the new Labor Code for which the Government faces a vote of no-confidence. Union leaders said they expect about 50,000 people from the entire country to attend the rally. Opposition party leaders Victor Ponta and Crin Antonescu have said they would attend the protest. The Government last week sought a confidence vote in Parliament to adopt the new Labor Code. The opposition has submitted a motion of no-confidence, which will be debated and put to the vote Wednesday afternoon. Mediafax
