The Minister of Labor, Family, Youth and Social Solidarity, Florin Manole, declared himself very satisfied with the employees of the institution he leads on Friday and stated that he would increase their salaries slightly.
"I now work in the ministry that has 94% of the average salary in the central administration. So, I would increase them a little (salaries - ed.). I am not at all determined to make any salary cuts, in general, in the ministry where I work. For this objective reason, I am very satisfied with the employees in the Ministry of Labor and I am not their opponent", said Florin Manole during the event launching the White Paper of SMEs in Romania.
He admitted that, in the budgetary system, "there are indeed some who earn a lot" and that, in general, there are special situations.
"State-owned companies are not subject to the salary law, but obviously order must be restored there. You cannot be, as a minister with quite large responsibilities, a pauper compared to the salary of a head of a state-owned company, sometimes even under your command," Manole specified.
He made a salary comparison between dignitaries and companies in the public and private sectors.
"There are many differences between the private and public sectors. A 'middle-management' in a large private company significantly outstrips a minister in this country, and a 'middle-management' in a large company makes much less, on the other hand, than someone in a state-owned company that perhaps has very few employees and very few responsibilities or manages a monopoly, where I, as a history graduate, believe I could manage a captive customer system," the Minister of Labor pointed out.
IMM Romania launched, on Friday, in Bucharest, the "White Paper of SMEs in Romania", now in its 23rd edition, the most comprehensive analysis of the Romanian business environment.A
