GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Romanian term or phrase:aparat de lucru
English translation:workforce (reduction)/staffing (cuts)
Entered by: ION CAPATINA

Romanian to English translations [PRO]
Government / Politics / public institutions
Romanian term or phrase: aparat de lucru
Este vorba de o descriere a institutiilor statului, in care se foloseste acel limbaj de lemn specific functionarilor publici:
"Criza financiara a pus presiune pe Administratie in directia reducerii costurile operationale si a restructurarii aparatului de lucru".
"Reorganizarea a redus atat structura teritoriala, cat si numarul de angajati, astfel ca in prezent aparatul de lucru actual este mult mai suplu".

Ma gandeam sa folosesc "organisation" pentru "aparat de lucru"
Any other suggestions?

Multumesc!

disagree  Daniel Grigoras: "machinery of government/ministries" ; vezi discussion // "work apparatus" does not refer strictly to the workforce; this is evident when in the next phrase there is talk about "personnel" and "work apparatus" (streamlined); this means closed offices

  -> I don't think you "reduce" the machinery, work force reduction sounds proper in the English speaking world!
