Negotiations continue regarding the collective bargaining agreement to be signed on behalf of 180 thousand workers working in institutions and organizations affiliated to the Ministry of Health, which will be the largest collective bargaining agreement in the public sector.
The second negotiations were held between Öz Sağlık-İş, the authorized union on behalf of the workers, and TÜHİS, the authorized employer union on behalf of the Ministry of Health. Making statements on the subject, Öz Sağlık-İş Union Chairman Devlet Sert noted that they are hopeful and insistent on new gains.
“WE PRESENTED ALL OUR OFFERS”
Pointing out that they have many demands as unionists, Sert stated that they expressed their demands in the negotiations at the table.
"In particular, the improvement of wages, the payment of additional payments, the reorganization of working hours, the elimination of disruptions in the wages of technical personnel, the consideration of job descriptions, training and professional conditions, the elimination of problems experienced in issuing the certificates of security guards, the assignment of security guards whose certificates have been revoked to other units within the institution, and so on. Many issues have been opened to discussion at the table as our union demands. We have presented our proposals on all issues that concern health workers and need solutions, and we are negotiating in this direction. We hope that TÜHİS will also show approaches that will make devoted health workers happy and end the unrest in working life," he said.
Sert, who also conveyed the developments on the prohibition of appointment and settlement, which is one of the problems brought by the Decree Law No. 696, pointed out the need for urgent legal regulation on this issue.
"This problem, which we are trying to solve with temporary measures in its current state, urgently needs a radical solution by making legal arrangements. Our discussions with government officials on this issue continue. The problem of appointment and settlement, which fundamentally damages the family institution, needs to be eliminated by making legal arrangements. As a union, we insist on this," he added.
