We have different relations – the National Confederation of the Free trade Unions in Romania is an explicit partner of PSD and, obviously, things are clearer there.
Twenty years after the Revolution, we felt we are willing to have a dialogue and we also felt the need to join a normal logic of the social dialogue. I shall be the guarantor of a serious social dialogue in this country,” said the PSD leader at the end of the meeting.
Mircea Geoana added that, during the meeting, they discussed the project “An Only Romania,” the relaunch of the “genuine” social dialogue in Romania among trade unions, employers’ associations, nongovernmental organizations and the Government.
The Social Democrat leader said that, if he came to be Romania’s President, he would aim at creating a national commission on putting up for public debate a project of a society through which one should define the economic pattern, the fiscal framework, the norm setting framework “21st Century Romania.”
Geoana also added that they talked about the ways in which the anti-crisis plan, which will be launched, should continue with concrete and rapid measures meant to preserve jobs, as this is quite imperative in his opinion.
According to the PSD chairman, they agreed on resuming the social dialogue on the law on the unitary pay of the budget employees. As for the pension law Mircea Geoana said that, early next year, he would meet the social partners and the representatives of the pensioners in order to discuss this norm setting document.
Mircea Geoana added that they also approached the question of resuming debates on the national education law. “It is our duty to consider this law in the first part of the year,” said the PSD leader.
The PSD chairman assured the representatives of the trade union confederations that he would encourage Klaus Johannis, as Prime Minister Designate, to hold talks with the social partners at the time when he finalized his governing programme.
President of the National Trade Union Bloc (BNS) Dumitru Costin said at the end of the meeting that if Mircea Geoana correctly received the suggestions made by the trade unions, other public support messages to the trade union members would no longer be necessary.
At the end of the talks between PSD chairman Mircea Geoana, a candidate for Romania’s Presidency, and the managers of the main trade union confederations, the BNS president said that he had no longer been involved in supporting election campaigns for two years, but that the candidates to Presidency receiving the messages from the trade unions would make trade union members have a correct political option.
The representatives of the main trade union confederations discussed with PSD chairman Mircea Geoana the questions trade union members are interested in. “Our interest is to promote the interest of our trade union members, the economic relaunch and the creation of new jobs being priorities,” said Cartel Alfa president Bogdan Hossu.
