(plasteurope) -- As the second month of 2012 gets
underway, there are no signs of any real improvement in the dire situation in
Rimnicu Vilcea, as petrochemical group Oltchim (Rimnicu Vilcea / Romania)
continues to send both its own workers as well as employees of subsidiary
Petrochemical Arges into “technical unemployment”.

 |
Group CEO Constantin Roibu continues to blame a lack of
both feedstocks and capital for the measures.
A small glimmer of hope may be the fact that the measures so far had applied
to about 1,000 employees, while this latest round “only” affects 840 workers,
who have been sent home but continue to receive 80% of their
wages. |
