Florin Manole, the Minister of Labor, criticizes employers for their rigid stance against raising the minimum wage, even during periods of economic growth. He emphasizes the need for balanced dialogue and adherence to existing laws regarding wage increases. Manole recalls that employers opposed minimum wage hikes even when the economy was growing at 7.9%. He advocates for a compromise and stresses the importance of good-faith discussions among social partners to prioritize public interest over personal or business interests. He calls for a return to legal frameworks governing minimum wage adjustments, highlighting the necessity of consultation and communication.
