The Minister of the Environment: “Huge retirement bonuses are required in Romsilva.” WARNING FOR THE NEW OF THE DIRECIA

The Minister of the Environment Diana Buzoianu stated, in an interview for Agerpres, that former employees of Romsilva obtained, in the first instance, the granting of retirement bonuses as this provision was not eliminated from the collective employment contract. Buzoianu warned Jean Vișan, the new general manager of Romsilva, that he will not accept the appointment of people with ethics problems in the head of the regional directions and that he will have to make the reforms to which he has engaged.

Diana Buzoianu said that the new head of Romsilva, Jean Vișan, was not personally appointed, but elected by the Board of Directors, and he must prove in five months that the necessary reforms begins.

Criminal convict, keep in Romsilva

First of all, the general manager has to show that the reforms begin. It does not have a check in white. He was elected by a Board of Directors of Romsilva and has during this period to prove that he really wants to reform, he really wants reorganization, which he has declared at the interview, “said the Minister of the Environment.

This showed that there are still problems in Romsilva for which the Ministry of the Environment must ask for explanations. She gave the example of a forest from the Cărbuneșt Forestry (Gorj County), who was definitively convicted twice for acts committed as an employee of Romsilva and who remained the employee of the Regia, a case of which Epochtimes Romania wrote.

Those from Romsilva told him that the article in the Forest Code that would have allowed the forest dismissal after he was convicted

“Only I am a little more careful, so in my own way, and last night, at 11:00 I read the collective labor contract of Romsilva, which is adopted in 2024 and on article 57 writes very clearly: the individual employment contract will cease the right to stay the court decision in the case of the service in the case. So, this contract should have ceased in five days, ”said Buzoianu.

In addition to that forest, seven other colleagues from the same detour are investigated for forestry crimes.

“One of the reforms that the interim general manager chosen following the selection made by the Board of Directors will have to make them will be to solve and look very closely on these problems,” said Buzoianu.

Retirement bonuses, an unresolved problem

Another request is for Vișan to solve the problem of employee retirement bonuses, which can reach up to ten salaries. Although they have not been approved, some of the former employees have directed to sue and obtained decisions that are favorable to them that the bonuses are stipulated in the collective labor agreement, which has not yet been modified.

“We have, today, when we talk, decisions in the first instance for forestry personnel who went and asked for the right to the retirement bonus, after this ordinance was given and the judge who looked at the law, the collective labor contract, said that that forest staff must continue to receive ten salaries. Files, of some processes, in which tens of millions are required, ”said Diana Buzoianu.

According to her, the head of Romsilva and the union leader were to meet on the modification of the collective labor contract, but Buzoianu believes that he did not need to follow the steps taken by the leadership of Romsilva.

“For each thing of this kind, someone must come from the ministry level to say to them:” But why did you do so? ” My question is: why do these people who are there lead, who say that some of them want to reform, want to clean, do, cannot do this work? We have armored with all the lawyers who tell us that it cannot be, ”commented the minister.

She warned Jean Vișan that the future 27 regional directors of Romsilva should not have “ethical problems”, so that her proposals are not contestable.
