CITUB and LC “Support” are against the proposal of Asen Vassilev, co-chairman of “We continue the change” and linked to the Minister of Finance, for reduction of civil servants by 10%. After the Tripartite Cooperation Council held in the Council of Ministers, they commented on the topic.
“And now there is a severe shortage of staff from inspectors to control and comply with labor legislation – there are over 400,000 companies and if anyone wonders why the country does not comply with the laws, no one will go on site and check because there are no social workers to take care of it. In the poorest country in the EU, we have just over 2,000 social workers, said Vanya Grigorova from KT “Support”.
When this person talks about reducing the number of employees, it is good to remember the police – she said. They are not equal to the employees of the Ministry of Interior, there are firefighters, employees dealing with personal documents, 112 and 90% of the budget of the Ministry of Interior goes for salaries, no for shoes, paper for printers, uniforms and more. It is good to stop the populism of the new rulers and stop lying that they will further reduce the state administration. If they cut it, it means to be left without a state, it conducts the state policy on the ground, Grigorova was categorical.
Will the reduction of officials pump up unemployment?
Not if they want to work, according to Vasil Velev
–
14% – 30,000 civil servants, if we cut – first they are not 200,000, but less than 130,000 and cover the state and municipal administration, this abuse and the attacks on civil servants are high time to stopshe called.
Lyuboslav Kostov from CITUB added that he believes that unemployment will rise, and cutting 30,000 staff will be shocking. Has anyone asked them what qualifications they need, they ask from CITUB.
1/3 of the state administration are retired and can continue as consultants with a secure income pension, 1/3 are retired, even if 30,000 are laid off, there is work for more in the country, people may be retrained as there is a labor shortage of 45,000 in the labor market.
