Minister of Energy, Virgil Popescu, and the president of the National Trade Union Bloc (BNS), Dumitru Costin, signed on Friday the Memorandum “Profiling services for the labor force to be made available within the Hunedoara Energy Complex Company”, it is shown in a release of the ministry.
“As I said, we are not leaving anyone behind. We have begun a process of modernization in order to leave a ‘green’ legacy to the next generation. But at the same time, we make sure that we do not neglect the social component, as people are important. I want to send an appeal to other trade union confederations: I invite them to join this initiative to help those in need,” said Virgil Popescu, Minister of Energy.
In his turn, the BNS president specified that during this period he managed, together with the representatives of the Ministry of Energy, to identify and promote passive measures to support those who are going to lose their jobs.
“But this is just a first step in a complex operation that requires that in addition to profiling each worker, to be laid off, we also prepare a package of relevant information about each individual’s potential. It is extremely important to work on the set of active measures that these workers will benefit from in the coming months, as well as the identification and promotion of new economic alternatives to ensure quality jobs for workers in the Jiu Valley. In two weeks we will open a dialogue with those from MIPE to which we will present project proposals and programs that should be included in the Fair Transition Operational Program,” said Dumitru Costin, according to Agerpres.
Due to this memorandum, the Ministry of Energy and CEH, in insolvency, will take the necessary steps for the allocation within the CEH structures where there will be operated lay-offs of an adequate space in which BNS experts can carry out their activity (a work space adequate to the workload, equipped with facilities for specific office activities in which experts can meet with employees to be laid off, respecting the rules of distance imposed during this period).
There will also be support from the Human Resources Bureau for scheduling employees to be laid off for profiling sessions with NBS experts and for processing data from the personnel files of those who will be laid off, as well as a meeting room for the group of people to be profiled.
Subsequently, the BNS will use the databases thus created and the occupational profiles exclusively in order to assist these persons for their reintegration into the local or regional labor market.
At the same time, the BNS undertakes to supplement the efforts of the local public employment service, thus using the experience and skills acquired in the almost 30 years of activity.
