The Конфедерация на независимите синдикати в България (КНСБ), or the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions of Bulgaria (CITUB), is a member of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC). The confederation took part in ETUC’s LABOUR-INT and UnionMigrantNet project, organising labour-related activities for third-country nationals (TCNs) together with the Sofia Development Association.
Among the initiatives were the creation of a number of publications, including a study conducted by the Institute for Social and Trade Union Research at CITUB on the barriers to TCN’s integration on the labour market, such as the language barrier, unfair working conditions and discrimination. A guide about the labour and social rights and obligations of employees in Bulgaria was also published in 3 languages, along with a poster and a leaflet about migrants and refugees rights and obligations.
CITUB also produced brochures in Ukrainian and Russian on Bulgarian labour market access, as well as labour and insurance rights for people with temporary protection status displaced form the war against Ukraine.
