All state employees will get a 10 per cent pay rise as of December the 1st. The Chamber of Deputies yesterday voted almost unanimously the Ordinance on boosting salaries in the Romanian healthcare system by 25 per cent. An amendment stipulating pay rises for all public administration workers was brought to the ordinance upon the Social Democrats' initiative. Although only one MP voted against the ordinance, scandal broke out in Parliament and Liberal MPs were booed by unionists for having initially stood against the pay rise.
