The postmen will decide on Tuesday whether to call off the strike. The decision will be announced during the morning after consultation with union members. On Monday, the union leaders received a salary increase proposal from the management of the Romanian Post Office and the Ministry of Research.
The claims of the postmen are the increase of 400 lei net of the salaries of the employees and the increase of the loyalty bonus, granted in installments, to the employees who have worked for the Romanian Post for more than a certain number of years.
In the night from Monday to Tuesday, the union leaders were in session. They analyzed the proposal made by the Romanian Post management and the Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitalization, after a six-hour negotiation session.
The proposal aims at a salary increase for Romanian Post employees in two installments: on July 1, when the minimum salary increases to 3,700 gross lei (from 3,300 gross lei at present) and on September 1, when it could increase by another 420 gross lei average. Concretely, cumulatively, a Romanian Post employee would receive a net salary increase of 369 lei on average, the trade unionists announce.
On Tuesday, union members will be consulted and a decision will be made on whether to stop or continue the strike.
