The freezing of the salaries of the employees of the National Institute of Statistics (INS) in the current year, by not applying the increases provided by the salary law, is actually the equivalent of a cut of their salaries, in the year in which the INS employees will participate in the population census, the head of the Trade Union of the National Institute of Statistics Bucharest (SINSB), Dan Iliescu, told AGERPRES on Thursday.
The union leader of INS Bucharest employees pointed out that the last salary increase received by statisticians was in January 2020.
Iliescu mentioned that the INS employees did not wish to reach a point when activity was disrupted, "especially in a year in which we are conducting the census of the population." "But there are data for GDP indicators, inflation, meaning the importance of our work may not be so much promoted at the institutional level, although the entire media uses INS data or Eurostat data, which are basically INS data," said Dan Iliescu.
The members of the Trade Union from the National Institute of Statistics Bucharest participate, on Thursday, in a protest rally in front of the INS headquarters.
