ITUC writes to Prime Minister over Labour Code

Romania

The ITUC global trade union confederation has written to Romanian prime minister Victor Ponta to express its concern over his government's determination to leave the labour law, passed by the previous government – unchanged. There had been an agreement with trade unions to revise both the new Labour Code and the new Social Dialogue Law that have lead to a significant worsening of working conditions and deterioration of collective bargaining. Precarious work is now much more widespread and the percentage of the population living below the poverty line is one of the largest in the European Union. The ITUC is urging other organisations to write to Ponta and EPSU has done so.

Romania

The European and global trade union confederations (ETUC and ITUC) have written to the Romanian government to protest against the decision not to implement a pay increase for public sector workers. The letter also challenges the government on anti-union statements and threats to remove the right of trade unions to collect membership fees through check-off. EPSU also wrote to the government along similar lines in January and followed up this letter in March – with no reply received so far to either letter.
