We have no information about participation in the protest by workers and employees of the company, who are scheduled to perform their official duties on June 26th, announced "Stolichne Autotrans", quoted by BTA.
BTA recalls that workers in surface public transport in Sofia are preparing a new protest on June 26th. The action is scheduled from 8:30 to 14:00 in front of the Sofia Municipality building and will be under the slogan "Budget and salary increase now!", the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria (CITUB) announced. The protest was organized by the Federation of Transport Unions under the Confederation of Bulgarian Trade Unions and the Federation of Transport Workers under the Confederation of Labor "Podkrepa" due to the failure to fulfill commitments to increase wages.
The management of "Stolich Autotransport" has not been officially notified of a planned protest. As in May, so now, we understand the intentions for such a protest from the mass media, the company states. We continue to fulfill our commitments to the workers of "Stolich Autotransport" - both in the payment of wages and in accordance with the agreements in the collective labor agreement (CLA), the municipal company assures.
A meeting of the CCA is scheduled for Thursday at 10:00 a.m., according to information on the website of the municipal councilors. Sofia Mayor Vasil Terziev invited representatives of all political forces in the Municipality to a joint meeting on Sofia's budget on Monday.
In the spring, public transport workers organized protests in Sofia calling for a salary increase, and in May, public transport was blocked for several days. At the end of last month, the cabinet allocated 15 million leva to the Sofia Municipality to solve the public transport crisis in the capital, after which the protests stopped.
On June 12, Vasil Terziev returned the Sofia budget and the economic framework for transport for 2025, because, in his words, he cannot allow Sofia residents' money to be spent without control, logic and against the law.
