The staff at Sofia Airport have declared strike readiness, Vanya Grigorova, economic advisor to Podkrepa Labour Confederation announced on Facebook. She goes on to explain that after several rounds of negotiations on concluding a collective labour agreement with concessionaire SOF Connect AD, no agreement has been reached.

The staff are demanding a 20% raise in salaries and retirement compensations of 10 or 15 monthly salaries, depending on the length of service. The employer is not only refusing to meet the workers’ demands, but also plans to cut paid leave and retirement compensations, Vanya Grigorova writes.
