The management of the Ministry of Transport and the representatives of the railway trade union federations agreed on Monday on an increase in tariff salaries with the 2022 index of increase in consumer prices, under the conditions of approving the legal and financial framework, the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure (MTI) announced.
"Today, December 20, 2021, at the headquarters of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, at the request of Minister Sorin Grindeanu, the meeting with the representatives of the trade union federations from the railway took place.
The discussions focused on the existing problems in the railway field, but also on the situation created by the spontaneous protest of some railway workers.
The parties agreed that, for the next period, it will be admitted that the increase of tariff salaries with the index of increase of consumer prices for 2022 will be agreed as a solution, under the conditions of approval of the legal and financial framework.
We are talking here about the Law on the state budget and the budgets of the railway companies, as a first stage in order to apply the Railway Staff Statute," specified a release of MTI sent to AGERPRES.
In a statement at the MTI headquarters, Alin Serbanescu, adviser to the Transport minister, said that all due diligences had been done to ensure that the spontaneous protest was closed and the movement of trains would be resumed.
"There were 261 trains blocked. We expect that at this moment all these trains will be put back into circulation," Serbanescu said.
Locomotive repairers from all the CFR Calatori (passengers) depots in the country stopped work on Monday morning, unhappy with the level of salaries, the president of the Federation of Railway Transporters Unions in Romania (FSTFR), Rodrigo Maxim, told AGERPRES early in the morning.AGERPRES
