Sindicatele din educație resping noua Lege a salarizării

Three major education unions in Romania have rejected the latest government proposal for public sector salary legislation, deeming it disrespectful. They criticize the introduction of a 'seniority' allowance and the lack of consideration for their proposals. The new salary law for 2026 includes significant changes, such as a reduced reference value and a differentiated calculation for teaching bonuses based on class size. These adjustments could lead to disparities in pay among teachers, with new rules converting percentage bonuses into fixed amounts. The unions argue that the proposed changes undermine the value of educational staff.
