FTTU held another meeting with the management of 'FTSEM' AD

Today, the chairman of the FTTU - Eng. Aleksandar Shopov - held another working meeting with the management of "Fraport Twin Star Airport Management" AD.

The meeting was also attended by the chairpersons of the trade union organizations in Varna and Burgas - Petranka Shomova and Todor Todorov.

The management of "Fraport Twin Star Airport Management" AD (FTTSEM AD) had presented its written proposal for an increase in basic wages, effective from January 1, 2026, before the meeting:

- 3.5% increase for the administrative personnel at the Central Office;

- 5% increase for the operational personnel at the Varna and Burgas airports, including employees in the "Facility Management" department.

According to FTTSEM, this proposal represents a balanced approach to wage increases, which should ensure the financial stability and long-term competitiveness of the company.

FTTU recalls that according to the financial data presented by the company, there is a real possibility for a more significant increase in wages.

What the proposal means for the workers:

• does not compensate for the accumulated inflation from previous years;

• does not lead to a real improvement in the standard of living;

• does not correspond to the growth of the minimum wage;

• is not commensurate with the increase in the company's revenues.

FTTU rejected the employer's proposal and insisted on reviewing the parameters.

A concession was made by the workers from the initial demands. We offered the employer a 15% increase from 01/01/2025 and two subsequent increases of 5% each during 2026 (on 01/02 and 01/05/2026).

We insisted that the issue of increasing the daily food allowances remain on the negotiating table. A new meeting is scheduled for 28/11/2025.
