Events surrounding the Glodeni sugar factory, where the workers have for already a year an a half have been struggling for wages, have been developing ever more dramatically.
The stored at the plant 2500 tons of sugar is the last liquid asset of its bankrupt owner, the company, SA Glodeni-Zahar, and the last hope for workers to receive money owed to them. That's why people are on a round-the clock vigil at the warehouse doors to block access to the warehouse and prevent the illegal removal and sale of the sugar.
On the night of 16 to 17 February, at about 2 am, ten unknown individuals with their faces concealed face, opened the railway gates of the company, and took away with them 12 wagons loaded with sugar. Workers who carried out the blockade vigil of the plant, were in the minority and could not stop them. After that, the same unknown persons tried to open the gates of the road transport exit to get three vans loaded with sugar out, but the workers in desperation, ran under the wheels of trucks and were able to stop them.
