A deep economic crisis hit the whole world between 1929-1933. Also known as the Great economic Crash, the crisis, among other things, translated into violence, an increasingly poor living standard, strikes and protest rallies. Romania was also marred by this crisis, having its dismal share of the aftermath and the ensuing social unrest. Strikes and protest rallies flared up countrywide, especially in the industrial regions. Illustrative of such a situation was the 1929 miners strike in Lupeni. Back then workers were protesting against the so-called sacrifice curbs, meaning salary cuts and price hikes. During the aforementioned four-year span, another strong protest movement was the strike staged over January-February 1933 by the railway workers employed by Bucharest s Grivita Repair workshops. However, the strike was equally politicized by the communist regime that held Romania under its grip between 1945 and 1989.
