The 1918 Romanian typographers' strike was a labor strike in Bucharest, Romania.[1][2][3] The strike began on December 6, 1918, when the city's typographers went on strike for higher salaries, an 8-hour work day, and recognition of their union.[1][2][3] The striking workers declared a second protest the following week, and on December 13, they were joined by various left-wing groups, who demanded the abolition of the Romanian monarchy.[1][3] It is estimated that over 15,000 participated in the December 13th demonstrations.[2] The strike was violently put down by the Romanian military, resulting in the deaths and injuries of dozens of workers, although the death toll has been disputed.[1][3]
