The Stara Zagora Labour Office has received information about a mass layoff at the TPP AES Galabovo, Labour Office Director Georgi Gyokov said on Thursday. He pointed out that the power plant falls within the Radnevo Labour Office's jurisdiction, and that the employer is obliged to submit a notification there.

"We have been told by our colleagues in the Radnevo Labour Office that they have received a notification like this, and that most of the people being laid off are from Stara Zagora," Gyokov noted. He added that the number of employees affected could be as high as 300. 

The reason why a large part of those being laid off are from Stara Zagora is understandable, since most of the workers at the power plant are from Stara Zagora, Gyokov said, adding that the registration process with the Labour Office will be clarified on Friday.

"The mass layoff procedures are designed so that people who are laid off have security during registration and subsequent service, so we will not leave them to fend for themselves," Gyokov noted.
