On 18.11.2025, in Sofia, a training session was held on the topic of "Organizing and Conducting Strike Action" and "Collective Bargaining", organized by the Federation of Transport Trade Unions (FTTU). The event was part of the federation's initiatives to increase trade union competence among transport workers.

Over 50 union members took part in the training – representatives of "Sofia Electrical Transport", "Sofia Motor Transport", "Metropolitan", and "Sof Connect". Participants had the opportunity to share experiences, discuss current labor challenges in the sector, and learn about good practices for effective collective bargaining and protecting workers' rights.

The training was led by Todor Kapitanov – Vice-President of CITUB, and Nikolay Stoyanov – lawyer of FTTU, who presented the current legal framework, the main steps in organizing strike action, and key moments in the collective bargaining process. The event was also attended by the Chairman of FTTU, Eng. Aleksandar Shopov, who welcomed the participants and emphasized the importance of active trade union work and social dialogue.

The training took place in a constructive atmosphere, with real cases discussed, ideas exchanged, and future steps outlined for improving working conditions and social partnership in the transport sector. Following the trainings in Varna and Sofia, FTTU considers that the union activists are better prepared for the effective organization of protest and strike actions.
