Also, starting at 09:00, a protest action will be held near the Ministry of Finance.

“We constantly tried to come to an agreement with the Government, but we did not succeed. We want to preserve jobs, preserve incomes and our own status!”, Dorin Modure, president of the Federation of Trade Unions of the Fiscal Administration “Solidarity”, says in a post of NBS on Facebook.

On August 11, more than 15,000 employees of the structures of the Ministry of Finance from all over the country went on spontaneous protests, dissatisfied with the measures proposed by the executive power to reduce budget costs, as they may affect more than 22,000 people in the system.

According to trade unionists, the resolution prepared by the government, which they do not like, contains provisions regarding:

  • Limiting the increase of harmful conditions to 1000 lei
  • Food allowance is no longer granted to persons with a gross income of more than 10,000 lei
  • Vacation vouchers are no longer available to individuals with a gross income of more than 10,000 lei
  • Cancellation of vacancies
  • Abolition of the office and position of head
  • Personal norms: 10 executive functions for service, 20 executive functions for management, 40 executive functions for general management.
  • The trade unions demand the equalization of wages at the maximum level of wages and the introduction into the law on wages of the financial professional family with the corresponding salary scale.
