cover sheet has a sort of envelop in which is a cardboard card. This card is
used for the monthly stamps for membership fees. These stamps have two
parts: one half is glued on the member's card as a receipt; the1lother half
stays with the registry of the Syndicate Delegate. The Carte de Membru is
valid for three years. One inside page records the Cotizatia (Fees) status
each year. A special stamp is affixed in a special square on thati page when
the member has paid membership fees for a year. The monthly membership fee
is calcula ed at the rate of one per cent of the worker's basic monthly
salary; there is no fee for the issue of the card. An additional four or
4.5 per cent of that monthly basic salary is deducted directly, for Social
Insurance benefits. This amount pays for the Casa Asigurarilor Bociale
(Social Insurance Fund), which entitles the worker and his familylto the
Carte de Sanatste (Health Book). It entitles the worker and his family
indirectly~to free medical care through the employing enterprise, to
medicines and to a State pension in case of disability.

are issued monthly and are not issued for the current month if one 's
hired in the middle of that month. Only persons within thqGovernment's
field of labor are entitled to ration cards. The Borderou is counter-
signed.by the head ration card official for the entire enterprise and
checked by the personnel chief. It is taken to the Ration Cards section of
the People 'a Board. That body issues ration cards on the first ofleach
month to the ration official of the enterprise. When the workers receive
their cards they sign the Borderou in receipt. Persons who have been hired
for their first job within the Government's field of labor are entitled to
clothing ration cards only after a six months' working period. The~
receive food ration cards from the start. If a worker is dtsmissei'lbefore
the end of a calendar month, he must surrender his ration cards to the
ration card official. If the dismissal is at the end of the month that is
not nzcessar , since the cards automatically become invalid." The fpod
ration cards~are a different color each month. ~

office of the state enterprise for which he is working. This. is a brown

with the stamp of the enterprise and bears the signature of the Chia of

of citizenship status. One page contains a physical description of the
bearer. The iremaining pages, except the last three, contain ; detailed
data on all the jobs the vrorker has held -- this from his Autobiogra,
~,ie --

enterprise. The worker retains it only if he is proposed for a State
pension or iflhe is dismissed for disciplinary reasons -- but in the latter
case he can get no more work. In both cases the worker is handed his
Carnet de Munca and a Foaie de Repartitie and sent to register at the BBM
office. The Carnet de Munca is issued for an indeterminate length or
time. If a worker is transferred to another job, it is mailed thro
official channels to the personnel office of his new enterprise."
