South-East Europe Review for labour and social affairs : SEER - vol. 12 n° 4 -
"This article examines briefly the response of trade unions to the financial crisis, from the perspective of the situation in Romania and the viewpoint of the Cartel Alfa trade union. The author explains that the country was already under pressure from the IMF and the EU arising from the impact of the country's attempt to join the Eurozone in 2014, but that a lack of capacity in the political arena is also presenting difficulties for the social situation, as is the hot topic of pensions reform. Cartel Alfa has called for measures to be taken in three directions which are aimed at helping to resolve the pressure, as well as for senior corporate executives in Romania to observe the principles of decent work. The union also wants to see agreements on the minimum wage observed, as a part of the essential process of achieving an effective social dialogue through which answers to the crisis may be established.
