Ilie Bolojan announces a new bad news for the government employees who will be expelled in the next period: they will not receive compensatory salaries

Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan told Digi24 on Wednesday night that a reorganization “in all ministries, in all authorities” will take place. Because the employees of the government apparatus do not have collective labor contracts, they will not receive compensatory payments, says Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan.

The statement comes in the context in which Wednesday, the prime minister met with the chiefs of 36 institutions subordinated to the Government. They asked them to present the proposals for reorganization until August 22.

He explained that first of all, a correct calculation of the staff is needed. “When this correct calculation is done, we will be in the situation where in certain institutions the staff will have to be reduced. In other institutions we need additional personnel,

Asked what will happen to the employees of the Government or the subordinate institutions that will be made available, if they will receive compensatory salaries, Prime Minister Bolojan said that:

“From these systems there are no collective labor contracts that mean compensatory payments.”

Ilie Bolojan continues to say that they will be able to be absorbed by the private sector, which in almost all big cities needs employees.

“The private sector has the capacity to absorb them. The worst situation would be when the economic recession, as it was 2008-2010 overlaps over a budget crisis. Then the public sector makes, and the private sector and then the problems are higher,” the prime minister told Digi24.

What employees say

In a press release, the National Federation of Administration Trade Unions (FNS) transmits that “the decision announced by Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan-by which the heads of institutions have only one week to draw up the lists with those who are to be fired-represents a hasty, lacking measure”. They also say that such an approach could destabilize the functioning of the state and could leave thousands of families without support.

FSI also asks the Government that by August 22

• Analysis of economic, social and administrative impact that underlies the reduction of personnel;
• List of objective criteria for selection of the targeted posts;
• The complete plan for reorganizing the central institutions, with the guarantee of the continuity of the services to the citizens;
• Compensatory measures for affected employees (allowances, professional conversion, relocation to vacancies);
• Stage calendar of the reform, with the permanent consultation of the social partners;

“We cannot accept that the administration reform will be reduced to a list done in a hurry, without consultation and without clear criteria. Arbitrary discounts means blocking public services, direct affects of citizens and throwing tens of thousands of people in unemployment. We ask emergency meeting with the Government and we are waiting for an August 22 President of FNSA, Bogdan Șchiop.
