Moldovan labor and employer tax advocacy

Overview

The National Confederation of Trade Unions of Moldova (CNSM) initially proposed several amendments to the Labor Code to enhance employee rights. These proposals included increasing leave durations, removing probation periods for young specialists, and protecting union officials from employer interference. The CNSM also suggested fiscal changes, such as increasing personal tax exemptions and expanding deductions for medical services.

Following these proposals, the CNSM and the National Confederation of Employers of the Republic of Moldova (CNPM) issued a joint appeal to Parliament. They are urging lawmakers to reject a proposed 12% income tax that would eliminate current exemptions for their organizations. Both groups argue that because their activities are non-commercial and funded by membership dues, the new tax would diminish their ability to participate in social dialogue and public policy development.
