Abstract

During 2013-2014, the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions of Bulgaria and the Cyprus Workers’ Confederation (SEK) started to implement a joint project: In- formation Bridge: Bulgaria-Cyprus. This is a follow-up to a Co-operation Framework Agreement concluded between the two trade union confederations in February 2012. This aims at improving the extent of co-operation between the two trade unions in the defence of the labour rights of Bulgarians working in Cyprus through: establishing an Information Bridge between the unions to encourage the sharing of best practice; increasing the awareness of Bulgarian workers about Cypriot labour legislation; training employment advisers; and establishing an information bureau to operate in both countries better to promote the labour rights of Bulgarian mi- grants in Cyprus. The improvement of the conditions of Bulgarian workers has had direct and indirect effects, including on the effectiveness of their participation in the labour process as well as regarding an improvement in the working environment micro-climate.
