Ministrul Muncii: ”Patronatele se opun majorării salariului minim pe economie”

The Minister of Labor, Florin Manole, stated that employers oppose increasing the minimum wage despite a 7% economic growth. He noted that past salary increases did not lead to job losses, but acknowledged the current challenging economic context marked by recession and austerity measures. Manole emphasized that the economic slowdown and budgetary issues are factual data, not mere opinions, resulting from austerity policies initiated in mid-2025.
