Speaking at the meeting, Ali Yalçın, Chairman of Memur-Sen, said, "Wage injustice has occurred among the personnel working in public institutions and organizations, labor peace has been shaken, and the wage balance in the public has been disturbed by the title-based arrangements made outside the collective bargaining table. Before the election period, this situation was brought to the agenda by our President, and it was stated that the minimum salary of public servants would be increased to 22 thousand TL and it would be reflected in retired public officials. The arrangement to be made; A study on which salary items will be made, at what rate it will be reflected in the titles, and whether it will be a percentage or a mobile amount has not been shared with us or the public. Therefore, considering this sensitivity, joint work should be done with the authorized confederation so that the regulation does not cause other grievances."

Pointing out that 3600 additional indicators will be given to first-degree civil servants, Yalçın emphasized that the regulation should not be spread over time and stated that the study should be completed as soon as possible.
