While teachers working in the private sector continued to work with problems such as low wages, under-insurance and mobbing, their grievances increased with the abolished base salary regulation in 2014.
The demand for the base salary of private sector teachers, which was brought to the agenda many times by the Milli Gazete, was submitted to the Parliament as a proposal in the past days.
While the motion was rejected with the votes of the AK Party and MHP, the teachers rebelled against the rejection of the motion.
Teachers working in the private sector continue to work with many problems.
While the teachers working in some institutions were unlawfully subject to wages below the minimum wage, the teachers were demanding to prevent the loss of rights by bringing back the base salary practice applied in the past against this victimization.
The issue was brought up in the Parliament recently. The rejection of the motion submitted to the Grand National Assembly on the subject of Base Salary by the AK Party and MHP deputies drew reaction from the teachers.
Pointing out that the re-enactment of the base salary regulation, which existed in the past but was abolished in 2014, is important for teachers, Ozan Fındık, Member of the Board of Directors of the Private Sector Teachers' Union, drew attention to the fact that the rejection of the proposal puts teachers in a difficult situation.
"In the regulation in question, the salaries of our friends working in public schools and equivalent private schools were equalized, thus preventing the loss of rights. Employees were partially protected. With the re-enactment of this law, our teachers would be able to breathe a little easier, but with the rejection of the motion, our teacher friends will continue to work together with the loss of rights. AK Party and MHP deputies rejected the motion and took a stand with the owners of the institutions, not the teachers working in the private sector", he said.
