Bucharest subway employees will go on a general strike Tuesday, November 17. The subway will be closed between 5 am and 4 pm, after talks between Metrorex unionists and acting Transport Minister, Radu Berceanu failed.

The unionists demand the start of negotiations for a new collective labor contract and want wages raised 26 percent. Berceanu declared last week that their claims are ungrounded and exaggerated.

"Subway employees want wage raises every year. They stay underground and don't want to see realities outside. Their wages increased by 23 percent in 2008. I can no longer take into account any salary increase," Berceanu said.

On Thursday Metrorex employees were on strike for two hours, following three days of protests last week.

Alice in Wonderland Goes for the Eye, not the Heart

Tim Burton’s latest film, Alice in Wonderland, is easily his most visually stunning yet, showing just how vividly the magic can be put on the big screen. Burton has lined a top-notch cast in front of a green wall allowing him to let his imagination fly, but limiting the actors’ opportunity to give vent to their expressions.
