The National Trade Union Bloc (BNS) proposes a minimum gross salary of 4,652 lei by 2027, up from 4,325 lei, emphasizing transparency and collective bargaining. A recent debate highlighted the inadequacy of current minimum wages, with many workers earning close to the minimum. Romania ranks low in the EU for minimum wage, and the distribution of salaries remains stagnant. The study reveals that a significant portion of employees earn at or just above the minimum wage, indicating a need for structural changes. The European directive aims for a clear mechanism for minimum wage adjustments, but Romania's implementation has faced challenges, including political decisions affecting wage increases.
