Banking On Sperm to Save Their Factory
From Times Wire Reports
Workers at a Romanian car factory have decided to donate sperm to get the debt-ridden plant out of the red.
“Our feasibility study shows that if 1,000 workers donate their sperm for several months, we can get enough funds to pay part of the plant’s debts,” said Ion Cotescu, trade union leader at ARO Campulung.
He said the decision was made after media reports said a fertility clinic in the western city of Timisoara offered donors $50 a visit. The plant’s debts are put at $20 million.
