About
In 2011, the electricity sector in Romania accounted for 0.6% of the employment and 1.2% of the number of employees in the Romanian economy. The sector’s rate of collective bargaining coverage is estimated at over 70%, higher than the national average. The collective agreements at company level have a high coverage rate. There is also a multi employer collective agreement in force, signed by one trade union federation and one employer organisation.

4. Collective bargaining in the electricity sector
4.1. Are employees in the sector as defined in Section 1 above and in Table 1 covered by collective bargaining?
Yes
4.2. If yes, please consider the five main relevant* collective agreements (single-employer and multi-employer agreements) valid in 2012 in the electricity sector and indicate their levels, the name of the agreements, respective coverage in terms of sectors/activities, the bargaining parties to the agreement and the numbers of employees covered within the sector (also estimate):
There is a multi employer agreement in force in the electricity sector. The ‘Collective agreement at group of units level from production, transport and distribution of thermal energy and electricity energy 2009–2013’, was signed on behalf of the employers by PUER and on behalf of the unions by Federaţia Energetica and Federaţia Termoelectrica. It is applicable in 23 out of 744 companies.
At company-level collective bargaining, the major representative for the employer side in the electricity production subsector is FPEN, either directly or its member APEN. At the start of 2012, the new employer federation ACUE gained its representation rights according to the new rules established by the Social Dialogue Law (no. 62/May 2011).
The main trade union federations active in the electricity sector are:
- Federaţia Univers;
- Federaţia Energetica;
- UFS Atlas (with Hidrosind as member);
- FNME;
- Federaţia Termoelectrica.

* Relevance is measured in terms of employees covered.
5. The system of collective bargaining
5.1. Estimate the sector’s rate of collective bargaining coverage (i.e. the ratio of the number of employees covered by any kind of collective agreement to the total number of employees in the sector).
The sector’s rate of collective bargaining coverage is estimated at over 70%.
5.2. Estimate the relative importance of multi-employer agreements and of single-employer agreements as a percentage of the total number of employees covered.
Multi employer agreement coverage is estimated at approximately 15% and single employer agreements coverage is estimated at 85%.
5.2.1. Is there a practice of extending multi-employer agreements to employers who are not affiliated to the signatory employer association/s?
No.
5.2.2. If there is a practice of extending collective agreements targeting employers, is this practice pervasive or rather limited and exceptional?
Not the case.
6. Formulation and implementation of sector-specific public policies
6.1. Do tripartite bodies dealing with sector-specific issues exist? If yes, please indicate their domain of activity (for instance, health and safety, equal opportunities, labour market, social security and pensions etc.), their origin (agreement/statutory) and the interest organisations having representatives in them:
Yes: the Social dialogue Commission at Ministry of Economy (ME).
All the trade unions and employer federations in the sector, as members of national trade unions and employer confederations, may be delegated by these to participate at social dialogue commission meetings.
According to Law no. 62/2011, all national trade union confederations and all employer organisations representative at national level, must regain their rights of representation. Because this process has not yet finished, organisations which had representation rights under the former rules, still take part in social dialogue.

9. Commentary
The electricity sector has a very high trade union membership (estimated at more than 80%). One of the reasons for this is the existence of large companies in the sector. Until now, even if in most of the companies the collective agreement in force is signed by trade union organisations affiliated at different federations, there have been no rivalries or competition among them. However, the introduction of the new Social dialogue law, meant that, in order to become representative at company level, a trade union organisation must provide evidence that at least half of a company’s employees (plus one) are its members. In these new conditions there could be mergers and fusions between trade union organisations.
