Public transport workers in Sofia have announced a protest for Wednesday, 14 May, which is expected to cause significant disruption before noon. Although Mayor Vasil Terziev had suggested that the protest would take place between 4:00 and 8:00 a.m., union representatives have confirmed that it will continue until midday.
During the protest, buses, trolleybuses and trams will remain in their depots. Only the metro will continue to operate.
On account of the strike, May 14 has been declared a non-school day. This was announced by the mayor of Sofia.
The protest stems from workers' dissatisfaction with a proposed wage increase of BGN 100 (approximately EUR 50), which they consider insufficient. The unions are demanding an increase of BGN 400 (around EUR 200) instead. However, city officials argue that the municipality cannot afford to give such a substantial pay rise to all 7,000 public transport employees.
