Florin Manole, if the salary law does not enter consultations until April: "You don't even need to ask for my resignation, as I will leave on my own."

The discussion was initiated by a viewer, a school director, who highlighted previous promises regarding the new salary grid for teaching staff, including commitments from former ministers. She asked about the credibility of the current promises and guarantees for teachers, considering the history of unmet commitments. The Minister of Labor, Florin Manole, linked the adoption of the salary law to the milestones in the PNRR, emphasizing the need for its rapid completion so that it can come into effect by the beginning of summer.

He mentioned that if consultations with the unions do not start by the first half of April, he will resign, considering that failing to meet this deadline would mean missing an essential milestone with significant social and budgetary impact. Manole promised that the annexes of the law would be finalized in the Ministry by the beginning of March, followed by consultations with the ministries and unions.
