Trade Unions: Minimum Wage To Grow By RON150 In 2019
The minimum wage will increase by RON150 in 2019, as per a draft to be drawn up by the government, Bogdan Hossu, president of trade union confederation Cartel Alfa, said Thursday after talks held with Prime Minister Viorica Dancila at the government’s headquarters.
“We expect a government decision aimed at clarifying the minimum wage as of January 1, 2019, which will probably reach RON2,050. (…) The minimum wage will rise by RON150 in 2019. It is envisaged to grow by a gross RON150 from this moment until 2022, when it must reach RON2,500. (…) The draft is needed as a calculation basis, including for the 2019 state budget”, said Hossu.
Hossu added the reference point is to be corelated not only with the productivity, but also with the minimum wage. (puterea.ro)
