The two leading trade unions in Bulgaria – the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria (CITUB) and the Confederation of Labour Podkrepa – are demanding that Covid-19 be included in the ordinance on the protection of workers from risks connected to exposure to biological agents during work.
