What happens to the minimum wage in Romania after elections?

Romanian Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos said yesterday, one day after the parliamentary elections, that if the new government is installed by the year’s end, it will be able to approve the minimum wage promised for 2017. If the new government is installed early next year, the current government will pass a government decision to keep the current level of the minimum wage in January 2017 too, reports local Economica.net. Ciolos also said that in a different context than the current one, his government would have established the level of minimum wage for 2017, to a level similar to the one proposed by union confederations. According to the current law, the Government has the obligation to establish by the end of the current year the level of the minimum wage guaranteed for the next year. editor@romania-insider.com
