Discussions between trade unionists from the Ministry of Finance and ANAF did not yield a good result. Thus, the protests will continue.

“After the morning meetings, in which the leaders of the SED LEX trade unions presented the results of yesterday’s discussions with the Minister of Finance, the colleagues decided to continue the protests. Including by closing the cash registers of the Treasury,” reports Sed Lex on Facebook.

Employees of several tax administrations of the country started spontaneous protests on Thursday. We will remind, they also took place on August 11.

The main demand of trade unions:

  • Equal pay for equal work – by equalizing wages for similar positions
  • Introduction to the Wage Law of Family Professional Finance
  • Development of the financier’s charter

“Shares can be extended indefinitely, and also turn into street shares, because the dissatisfaction of colleagues in the tax department is much deeper and concerns:

  • Lack of an integrated IT system
  • There is an acute shortage of personnel (for example, there are 2 employees left in the management of banks, while 17 would be needed) due to the fact that recruitment has not been carried out for a long time.
  • Lack of suitable premises for activities
  • Lack of legal protection for workers, as they are forced to defend themselves in the courts of multinational companies, powerful companies that maximize their profits (i.e. do not record profits and do not pay taxes to the government) and have the necessary financial resources to sue us mainly of our intimidation.”
