The National Trade Union Bloc (BNS) proposes a gross minimum wage of 4,652 lei for 2027, highlighting that many employees earn close to the minimum wage. Approximately one-third of full-time workers earn only slightly above the minimum wage, with Romania ranking low in the European minimum wage standings. The BNS criticizes the lack of structural changes following the transposition of a European Directive and calls for a transparent wage-setting mechanism. Recent discussions included government representatives and addressed the stagnant wage distribution in the economy.
