Romanian Magistrates Gross Wages Will Not Decrease – PM

Romanian Prime Minister Emil Boc said Tuesday in Parliament that the gross salaries of magistrates will not be reduced under the unitary wage law for the public sector, but the judges and prosecutors will not be eligible for the same types of salary hikes applied to teaches and doctors until 2015.

Boc added magistrates will be treated in accordance with their positions and „with due respect” as far as salaries are concerned.

He added the magistrates, who are already „at the top of the salary pyramid” will not receive the same salary increases as teachers, doctors and public servants between 2010 and 2015.

The Romanian Government is asking the Parliament for a confidence vote Tuesday to enact a law on education, a law regulating wages across the public sector and a law on the reorganization of government agencies and state institutions to cut public spending.

The Government accepted slightly over 120 amendments to the three draft laws it wants enacted, less than 5% of the 2,680 amendments proposed by lawmakers.

Public sector employees in educational healthcare, law enforcement and public administration are picketing the Parliament and call on the Government not to enact the unitary pay law but renegotiate it and discard plans to cut jobs in the public sector.
