Labour Union Wants Bulgaria's Railway Chief Punished
Business | May 12, 2007, SaturdayBulgaria's KNSB labour union has called for penalizing the chief of the Bulgarian State Railways Oleg Petkov, because he is planning mass layoffs in the company.
Petkov has sent KNSB a letter saying that the company plans to dismiss some 950 workers as part of its development program. The letter and their motive to lay off the workers are in violation of the Labour Code, KNSB believes.
There are 232 vacancies in the company as it is now and the staff has to put in extra hours, so the idea of sacking even more people is unacceptable, the unionists say. They demand that Transport Minister Petar Mutafchiev calls off the letter and penalize Petkov. The railway chief violated the code for social cooperation and created tension among the workers.
