Equal basis pay at EU level

Equal basis pay at EU level

We Citizens of Romania of the European Union, we consider that we are deeply discriminated against on the basis of the salary level that we collect in Romania.

For this reason, we believe that the EU should create the same conditions and working rules for all EU citizens on the basis of a homogeneous work code, harmonizing conditions for employees and rights and obligations for employers. This code will include the right to decent wages and working hours and will have to include the principle of equal pay for same work for male and female workers as well as for workers from other EU Member States. 333

The gap between Western and Eastern European salaries is the cause of the "quiet migration" of young people from the eastern countries to the West. We note that young people are interested in this initiative because they are the ones who sooner or later leave the country to get a better paid job abroad and the elderly people notice that grandchildren leave their countryside abroad.

As it has been 30 years since the change of regime, we are 10-year members of the European Union, for more than 10 years we are expecting to rise to the West or Europe, but to achieve equalization in terms of revenue, both between East and West. Unfortunately, we have found that instead of getting closer to the level of living in the West, we are increasingly left behind.

That is why we want the Parliament of Romania, the Parliament of the European Union and the European Commission to take note of this petition and to prepare the steps to achieve wage adjustment at the European level.
