The railway unions are set to meet with Prime\r\nMinister Boyko Borisov and Transport\r\nMinister Ivaylo Moskovski\r\non Monday 3 October in order to find common ground to clarify the situation in\r\nthe railway sector, announced Plamen\r\nDimitrov, President of KNSB\r\n(Confederation of Independent Bulgarian Unions).\r\nThe unions are firmly opposed to the\r\ngovernment's intention, under opressure of a memorandum with the World Bank, to\r\nprivatize BDZ Freight Services, the freight section of the state-owned\r\noperator, traditionally more profitable than the troubled passenger section.\r\nAll unions involved have complained about the lack of contact with BDZ\r\nmanagement and the Transport Ministry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.novinite.com\u002Fview_news.php?id=132176\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.novinite.com\u002Fview_news.php?id=132176\u003C\u002Fa>\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.novinite.com\u002Fview_news.php?id=132533\">\u003Cbr\u002F>http:\u002F\u002Fwww.novinite.com\u002Fview_news.php?id=132533\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\"> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"discreet\">\u003Cem>This\r\narticle was published in the Collective Bargaining Newsletter.
