The minimum wage hike that concerns 7 million employees did not please anyone.
As of January 1, taxes, fees and penalties were increased by 22.58 percent; The increase in minimum wage, which will be valid for 2020, remained at 15.03 percent.
The minimum wage, which is 2020 TL, was determined as gross 2,943 TL and net 2,324 TL for the year 2020.
NOBODY IS PLEASED
After the last meeting of the Minimum Wage Determination Commission yesterday, the minimum wage amount to be valid in 2020 was announced.
The minimum wage announced by the Minister of Family, Labor and Social Services Zehra Zümrüt Selçuk does not please anyone; In 2020, the minimum wage was 2,943 TL gross; net 2,324 TL to be applied.
Thus, the increase in net minimum wage was 15.03 percent. In an atmosphere where taxes, fees and penalties were increased by 22.58 percent, the increase of 15.03 percent of the minimum wage expected to constitute the basis for wage increases was interpreted as the oppression of employees.
TÜRK-İŞ: "THIS NUMBER DOES NOT ENOUGH FOR 10 DAYS"
Speaking after the announcement of Minister Selçuk's minimum wage figure, Türk-İş General Education Secretary Nazmi Irgat said that we do not accept the number you explained as the workers' segment. We believe that this figure will not be enough for our workers even for 10 days. We disagree with your decision and leave the meeting.
Türk-İş, who carried out the minimum wage process in this year with Hak-İş and DISK, insisted not to speak a figure below 2,578 lira, which is the cost of living for a person.
