The two biggest trade unions in Bulgaria- the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria (CITUB) and the Confederation of Labor Podkrepa are dissatisfied with the minimum wage increase. The minimum monthly salary is to increase from EUR 362 to EUR 398 as of January 1.
“The increase is a step in the right direction, but is not enough to offset inflation”, CITUB President Plamen Dimitrov said for bTV.
In an interview for Nova TV, the Economic Adviser of the Confederation of Labor Podkrepa Vanya Grigorova called for a new increase in 2023.
