Romanian PM Calin Popescu Tariceanu: increasing teachers' wages by 50% will bring about an economic crisis
The PM underlined that union leaders need to understand that the economic crisis affecting Europe will be felt in Romania unless prudent economic policies are undertaken. Tariceanu declared that even though the professors will have their 50% salary increase, a bread will cost at least 5 times more thus the increase will not be felt. He added that the government is ready to increase teachers' salaries but gradually over the years.
