The “Solidaritatea Sanitară” Federation in Romania (FSSR) is urging the new government to promptly begin drafting a law regarding public sector salaries. A key demand is the inclusion of healthcare workers in the legislative process, ensuring their perspectives are considered. The FSSR warns that real wages have already decreased by more than 16%. This decline is fueling concerns about the sustainability of the healthcare system in Romania and the potential for further workforce issues. The union seeks a collaborative approach to address the financial challenges facing healthcare employees. They believe direct involvement in the law’s creation is vital to achieving fair and adequate compensation. The FSSR’s statement underscores the growing pressure on the Romanian government to address public sector pay and stabilize the economy.
