BUCHAREST, Romania - Guards used tear gas Monday on hundreds of striking workers who were trying to storm a factory owned by the Arcelor Mittal Galati steel company in eastern Romania.
Some 3,600 steel workers have begun a strike at the plant to demand higher wages, said trade union leader Gheorghe Tiber in a statement.
