27% of working Bulgarians or 840,000 people cannot afford a one-week holiday. Over 38 million people in Europe cannot afford a week’s holiday, despite being in work, indicate data of a survey conducted by the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), quoted by the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria (CITUB).
"The cost-of-living crisis is adding pressure on working people, with increasing numbers reporting a struggle to make ends meet and putting holidays even further out of reach".
The ETUC calls for urgent measures to address the wage emergency in Europe. According to ETUC, the EU and national governments need to support working people too with measures to alleviate the energy and food prices crisis and give income support. CITUB has already demanded that Bulgaria increases the minimum monthly salary to BGN 800 (EUR 409) in the autumn of 2022 to reduce the number of working poor.
