Felicity (Saadet) Party General Chairman Temel Karamollaoğlu participated in Hak-İş Confederation's the 14th Ordinary General Assembly, criticizing the determination of the minimum wage, "Minimum wage is determined by the commission of Hak-İş and other confederations do not find wrong. A commission in which all workers are not represented cannot achieve healthy results. Secondly, the determination of the minimum wage should be taken as a criterion for the hunger limit instead of the poverty line," he said.
Hak-İş Confederation held the first day of the 14th Ordinary General Assembly in Ankara.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, General Chairman of the Felicity Party Temel Karamollaoğlu, Minister of Family, Labor and Social Services Zehra Zümrüt Selçuk, Member of the Felicity Party YİK and founding leader of Hak-İş Confederation, Mustafa Destici, Chairman of the Grand Unity
(BBP) Party Deputy Chairman Hasan Bitmez and Fatih Aydin, Memur-Sen Chairman Ali Yalcin, TISK Chairman Ozgur Burak Akkol, TESK Chairman Bendevi Palandöken and members of the board of trade unions affiliated with the confederation attended a large number of guests.
FALSE CISTAS IS APPLIED FOR DETERMINING THE MINIMUM WAGE
Karamollaoğlu continued his speeches by criticizing the determination of minimum wage and said:
"We find it wrong to not have Hak-İş and other confederations in the commission where the minimum wage is determined. A commission in which all workers are not represented cannot achieve healthy results. Secondly, the determination of the minimum wage should be taken as a criterion for the hunger limit rather than the poverty line. Can there be an understanding in which the only needs of the citizens are fed and the other needs are ignored?"
Stating that a fair distribution of national income should be made, Karamollaoğlu reminded that collective bargaining agreements do not mention the poverty line and that everyone is based on hunger.
WE ALWAYS BEEN ON JUSTICE SIDE
Karamollaoğlu made evaluations outside of his working life and said, "We have always been in favor of justice, merit, transparency and good morality in relations. We defended them. There will of course be different ideas in politics. However, it is very wrong to consider these different ideas as treachery."
