Moldovan trade unions warn of income losses in new salary law

Moldova trade unions public sector wages salary legislation inflation impact annual bonuses

Trade unions in Moldova are raising concerns regarding proposed changes to the country's salary legislation for the public sector. Representatives from the National Confederation of Trade Unions of Moldova (CNSM) have warned that projected salary increases for 2027 may fail to improve actual purchasing power if they do not outpace inflation, which has reached 11.2%.

A primary point of contention is the proposed reduction of annual bonuses from 50% to 20%. Union leaders argue this would cause significant income losses for various professions, estimating that a teacher could lose 1,707 lei and a Ministry of Internal Affairs officer could lose 2,251 lei.

Other union demands include increasing the ceiling for one-time bonuses from 2% to 10% and raising the reference value for public order and state security employees from 4,200 lei to 4,700 lei. The Ministry of Finance has stated that all feedback from the consultation process will be analyzed.
