The CITUB (Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria) calls on Bulgarian parliament to adjust its decision of April 6, 2020, reading that MPs, cabinet ministers and heads of state and executive agencies should donate their salaries for the fight against Covid-19. According to CITUB, this decision violates the Bulgarian Constitution and the ILO Convention ratified by Bulgaria, which prohibits any restriction on the freedom of the worker to have his or her wage at his own discretion. CITUB also stresses the enormous workload during the coronavirus crisis of the heads of the Employment and Social Assistance Agencies, the Labour Inspectorate, the National Social Security Institute and the National Revenue Agency.
If the decision is not adjusted, CITUB intends to bring a complaint to the attention of the International Labour Organization (ILO).
