Ambulance workers across Romania are set to stage a national protest on June 11 in Bucharest. The Federation of Unions "Ambulance" in Romania (FNSAR) announced the demonstration, which will take place outside the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Labor. Union leaders argue that the draft law on public sector salaries would significantly cut bonuses and reduce the income of ambulance personnel.

The Federation of Unions "Ambulance" in Romania (FNSAR) announces a national protest on June 11 in Bucharest, in front of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Labor, accusing that the draft law on the salaries of public sector employees would reduce the bonuses and incomes of ambulance personnel.

โ€” FNSARAnnouncement of the protest and its cause.

Protesters are particularly concerned about proposed changes to essential allowances, including those for shifts, on-call duties, rest days, and hazardous working conditions. FNSAR warns that the new salary coefficients, without requested increases, will not maintain current income levels for a substantial portion of the workforce. Some categories of staff could see their monthly earnings decrease by 2,000 to 4,000 lei.

The protest is determined by the draft law on the salaries of personnel paid from public funds, which would provide for the reduction of some essential bonuses, such as those for shifts, on-call duties, rest days, and hazardous conditions.

โ€” OrganizersExplanation of the specific grievances driving the protest.

The demonstration is scheduled to occur between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Organizers anticipate up to 1,000 attendees. On the day of the protest, all operational public ambulances are expected to display "National Protest" messages. This action follows a series of similar demonstrations by public officials in various counties protesting the same draft law and demanding a special status and a revised salary scale that reflects their responsibilities.

The unionists warn that the new salary coefficients would not ensure the maintenance of current incomes for a significant part of the personnel, in the absence of requested increases.
