The trade unions OGBL and LCGB have called on the help of the national mediation office after negotiations with lux-Airport for a new collective working agreement failed. According to the unions, management deliberately delayed talks and refused to implement a 1% wage increase per year, despite a 3.7 million euro profit in 2012 and rising visitor numbers for the past two years. The unions also object to demands for a more flexible calculation of working hours, as this would leave employees at the beck and call of lux-Airport.

The governor of the central bank stated in front of Parliament that the idea proposed by banker Indrek Neivelt to raise the minimum wage to 1,000 euros by 2018 is unrealistic. Neivelt's reasoning was that `If entrepreneurs have access to some cheap resources, they will waste it'. He also wondered how it can be possible that employees are paid 300 or 400 euros a month, several times less than in Scandinavia. His suggestion was to add about 150 euros to the minimum wage every year in order to end up at 1,000 in 2018.

In its annual report on wage developments in Europe, the European Industrial Relations Observatory (EIRO) finds that nominal wage increases in collectively agreed wages were lower in 2013 than in 2012. However, due to the low inflation throughout Europe, real wages did increase at a higher rate. The lowest wage growth was reported in the public sector, which in many countries is still subject to a pay freeze.

All doctors at Sofia's emergency care unit have resigned collectively to express their solidarity with the services' head, who was dismissed by the health minister for mismanagement. The health minister asked for the resignation of the emergency service's head and deputy after a 40 year old woman died while waiting over 40 minutes for an ambulance to arrive. The doctors, who are protesting outside the health ministry, say their heads are just scapegoats. They argue the real problem is that the service lacks financial, human and material resources to operate the care effectively.
