Protest în fața Ministerului Muncii. Sindicatele cer majorarea salariului minim de la 1 ianuarie 2027

A large protest is scheduled for Tuesday in front of the Ministry of Labor, where union members will demand an increase in the minimum wage and the resumption of collective bargaining negotiations. Unions argue that these demands are interconnected, as a proper minimum wage cannot be established without collective agreements. They highlight the risks posed by the blockage of negotiations, which undermines Romania's ability to meet European standards for adequate minimum wages. The unions emphasize the need for a transparent and predictable legal mechanism for setting the minimum wage, especially for low-wage sectors. The protest will involve various federations, including those from commerce, IT, and finance.
