On November 18, 2025, in Sofia, a training session on "Organization and Conduct of Strike Actions" and "Collective Bargaining" was held, 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 trade union members took part in the training – representatives from "Stolichany Electrotransport", "Stolichany Avtotransport", "Metropolitan", and "Sof Connect". The participants had the opportunity to share experiences, discuss current labor challenges in the sector, and get acquainted with good practices for effective collective bargaining and protection of 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 actions, and key moments in the collective bargaining process. The event was also attended by the President of FTTU, Eng. Aleksandar Shopov, who welcomed the participants and emphasized the importance of active trade union activity 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 conducted in Varna and Sofia, FTTU considers the trade union activists better prepared for the effective organization of protest and strike actions.
