The Minister of Labor, Florin Manole, emphasized that discussions about minimum wage should focus not only on economic figures but also on ensuring a decent living standard. He highlighted the importance of correlating wage discussions with the cost of living and the need for decent working conditions. Manole pointed out that despite economic growth, the argument that raising wages leads to job losses is becoming less credible, as employment levels have remained stable. He acknowledged the challenges posed by the current economic climate and the need for a comprehensive approach to wage policy, including the implementation of EU directives. The National Trade Union Bloc organized a debate on the adequacy of minimum wage in Romania, revealing that many workers still earn close to the minimum wage, indicating a lack of significant change in salary distribution.
