Negotiations for increasing the minimum wage in Romania are entering a crucial phase. Prime Minister Luca Niculescu will meet with union representatives to discuss their demand to raise the gross minimum wage from 4,325 lei to 5,000 lei starting January 1. Business representatives oppose this increase, citing concerns over rising costs and potential impacts on consumer prices. Five national confederations have requested this meeting to advocate for the wage hike, which they argue would help employees regain lost purchasing power. A decision on the minimum wage is expected after the next budget revision, with unions also seeking new negotiations on salary legislation.
