Roxana Mînzatu susține negocierea colectivă în România

Roxana Mînzatu, the European Commission's Vice President for social rights, advocates for strengthening collective bargaining in Romania after meeting with union representatives in Brussels. Unions protested for the unblocking of negotiations and an increase in the minimum wage starting January 2027. Mînzatu emphasized the importance of social dialogue and the need for collective negotiations to yield real results for employees. Unions highlighted challenges in the private sector, including employer refusals to negotiate and lack of mandates. They demand a transparent mechanism for setting the minimum wage and improved collective bargaining coverage in Romania.
