Three of the four nationally representative employers' organizations - the Bulgarian Industrial Capital Association (BICA), the Bulgarian Industrial Association (BIA) and the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) - have spoken out against the government's proposal to increase public administration salaries by up to 30%.

"This increase is a feast in time of plague, because it jeopardizes the state budget in the conditions of suspended economic growth, bankruptcies of companies and contraction of international markets due to the crisis," officials from the BCCI stated.

Members of the AIC points out that the increase will be covered by loans, which will be paid by those employed in the economy, where salaries are not only not increased, but are actually reduced. "The feeling of injustice remains," the AIC members claim.
