Approval of Salary Law will result in 25% reduction of income for forestry workers (unions)

The Silva Forestry Trade Union Federation warns that a draft law could reduce forestry workers' income by 25% by removing a risk allowance from their base salary. This allowance, crucial for compensating the hazardous nature of forestry work, is proposed to be eliminated, despite unchanged working conditions. The Federation argues that this change threatens the livelihoods of thousands of forestry professionals and calls for the removal of the provision from the draft law to protect their earnings and ensure fair compensation. They have also requested to be involved in parliamentary discussions to highlight the potential negative impacts of the legislation.
