On October 30, 2025, a National Conference on "Safe and Healthy Working Conditions in the Digital Era" was held in Sofia, organized on the occasion of the European Week for Safety and Health at Work.

The forum was attended by representatives of trade unions, employers' organizations, and academia, including Eng. Aleksandar Shopov, President of FTTU, and Plamen Dimitrov, President of CITUB.

In his speech, Plamen Dimitrov emphasized that the digital transformation must go hand in hand with the protection of workers' rights, safety, and mental health. He stressed the need for adapting labor legislation and a stronger role for social dialogue in the automation and digitalization processes. The speakers addressed key topics such as digital stress, the implementation of artificial intelligence systems, and regulatory guarantees for safety.

Good practices from leading enterprises as well as opportunities for project funding through the "Working Conditions" Fund were also presented.

For FTTU, this topic is extremely important – digitalization is already changing the transport sector and its professions. We will continue to insist on policies that place safety, health, and dignity of labor at the center of this change. The leading factor is the human being, not artificial intelligence!
