The warning strike will start at 7 a.m. and will last the entire day, representatives of the federation said.

A number of 75,000 employees countrywide are affiliated to the federation, while 6,500 of them are in Bucharest.

The other three education federations - Alma Mater, FLSI and FEN - will go on a warning strike on November 10. All four unionist federations in the education system will go on a general strike as of November 18 for an indefinite period, displeased with the Government’s decision to prorogate the enforcement of the law hiking teachers’ wages by 50% until April 1, 2009.
