Moldovan PM says dismissed personal assistants from Chisinau to be re-employed by Labour Ministry

Chisinau, 20 March /MOLDPRES/ - Prime Minister Dorin Recean has informed that the government identified a solution to the problem of the personal assistants from the Moldovan capital. Thus, all personal assistants who were illegally dismissed will be re-employed by the Labour and Social Protection Ministry (MMPS).   

„Mayor Ceban caused a quite serious problem in Chisinau – he illegally dismissed over 600 personal assistants and cut the salaries to another several hundreds. These people take care of relatives with severe disabilities and the mayor left them without incomes. The government will not allow the personal assistants to stay blocked between the incompetence of mayor Ceban to manage the public money and his victimization through lies,’’ the PM said in the beginning of the cabinet meeting.    

„We promised a solution and identified it: all personal assistants who suffered in the wake of the illegal decisions of the mayor will be re-employed by the ministry. We, the government, will re-allocate money and will impose that this money is paid namely to the personal assistants,’’ the prime minister noted in the beginning of the cabinet meeting.   

More people employed as personal assistants in the capital accused that, since the beginning of this year, their salaried had been cut or they were even dismissed. In the beginning of this week, MMPS informed that it would provide financial assistance worth 5,000 lei to the personal assistants from the Chisinau municipality, for whom the labour relation was changed through the diminution of the norm or dismissal from office.
