“The employer is a private person or an economic agent. The discussion about the salary increase must be with the employer. You cannot tell a private company how much to pay, because you affect competitiveness. We regulated the minimum wage and increased it. It is the only way to regulate wages in the private sector. We try to help the business through different programs”, stated Gavrilița.
The prime minister claims that salaries in the private sector are significantly higher than those in the public sector. She also mentions that in the country we have about 200,000 budgetary employees and 600,000 – in the private sector.
