The “Health” Federation in Romania accuses the Government of repeating the mistakes of 2010 and hits again in the employees of the public system, especially in the TESA staff and technical support from hospitals, in the context of the emergency ordinance that plays the bonuses for dangerous, harmful or heavy conditions at the maximum 300 lei, for the maximum of the budgeted person.

The federation points out that although the Minister of Health claims that the medical staff is not targeted, the impact on the administrative and technical personnel is serious and unfair.
“These colleagues work in the hospital environment among patients and serving spaces, also for patients being a team with their medical colleagues, assistants, nurses and other colleagues auxiliary-sanitary. It is shown in the statement signed by the Federation of Health.
The trade unionists claim that the salaries of the TESA staff are already low – starting from 2,800 lei and reaching, in rare cases, to almost 6,000 gross lei – and the application of the ceiling of 300 lei gross will mean for some employees a minimum wage on the economy.
“See you in the street!”
The Federation announces that it is prepared to act in court to challenge the provisions of the GEO and expresses its dissatisfaction with the way in which the ordinance was adopted:
“You gave an ordinance on your knees without thinking !!! quickly before!”
The message ends with a call for mobilization: “And last but not least, we will see you in the street! We will defeat!”
Context
“The employee staff from public institutions can receive an increase of up to 300 lei gross monthly, in proportion to the time worked under dangerous, harmful or heavy conditions. This ceiling is applied unitary for all budgets, from all institutional categories.“
The measures entered into force today, July 1, 2025, and are applied until December 31, 2026.
The measure comes against the background of the government’s efforts to reduce the budget deficit, but has aroused protests among employees.
