The employers and trade unions will jointly make an appeal to Prime Minister Vlad Filat and will inform him about the situation created following the approval of the latest decisions in the economic sector and about the fact that the proposals submitted by the social dialogue partners weren’t taken into account, Info-Prim Neo reports. Representatives of the executive bodies of the employers and trade unions Tuesday came together for a meeting to discuss the measures that should be taken in the current situation. “Even if we reached an agreement with decision makers during the discussions held by the tripartite commission (the public authorities, employers and trade unions – e.n.), we did not find those understandings in the final document published,” said the chairman of the National Employers Confederation Leonid Cerescu, referring to the 2012 budgetary-fiscal policy. He also said that the authorities took a lot of decisions without asking the employers or the employees. “They introduced an income tax of 12% for economic entities, instead of the 0 tax used earlier. The dividends of the employers will be taxed 6%. The employers will have to pay for three days of sick leave to the employees. Also, there was introduced VAT on refresher activities for employees,” said Leonid Cerescu. Alexandru Slusari, of the Agricultural Employers Confederation, said the employers and trade unions should submit joint proposals to the Premier. “We should not allow the Government to divide us. If we do not improve the situation in half a year, the legal employers will disappear,” he stated. The trade unions’ leader Oleg Budza said the representatives of salary earners want the employers to have a profitable business and to work legally as a well-paid employee is open and contributes to the state budget. Mihail Hincu, deputy head of the Confederation of Trade Unions, said the employers and trade unions are no longer on the same position as the government. “We demand that ministers, not deputy ministers or division heads should take part in the meetings of the tripartite commission. Two thirds of the commission were against the decision whereby the employers are obliged to pay for three days of sick leave, but nothing was done. The Premier must know about everything,” he stressed. The administrations of the employers and trade unions agreed to draw up a list of the decisions adopted without taking into account the opinions of the social dialogue partners in the January 26 meeting of the tripartite commission.
