Representatives of the Salary Union are collecting signatures in the counties of Transylvania with a view to support a legislative initiative at EU level that will set equal salaries in all EU countries for the same job, on Sunday told a news conference in northwestern Satu Mare, Gyongyosi Marton, chairman of the Salary Union initiative and Jobbik deputy in the Hungarian Parliament.
He specified that by May 2018 over 1,000,000 signatures must be gathered in entire EU to uphold the initiative in the European Parliament, over 100,000 being collected so far.
We'll initiate public stands, in the street so we see how open to our initiative the people are. We've found that a huge interest towards this initiative exists and practically there is no person we could not appeal to. The young are interested in this initiative, because they are whose who sooner or later leave the country to get a better paid job abroad, and the elder notice that their grandchildren leave them to work abroad, the Hungarian deputy added.
The Salary Union representative on Romania's behalf, Dragos Tirnoveanu said that Romania must gather 24,000 signatures, and that a few thousands are already clustered.
