Public engineers, who came to Ankara Anıtpark from all over Turkey, renewed their demands for improvement and raise in their personal rights.
Ahsen Çelik, the Founding President of the Public Engineers Platform, who made a press release on behalf of public engineers, requested an engineering profession law.
Members of the Public Engineers Platform came to Ankara from all over Turkey and renewed their problems and demands once again.
In the action held in Ankara Altınpark, the engineers put on their white hard hats and took the engineering oath.
Ahsen Çelik, the Founding President of the Public Engineers Platform, who called for an arrangement in the salaries of public engineers, stated that a new payment item should be created.
"Occupation-based regulations have led to wage inequality that disrupts the hierarchical structure, a negative change in the peace between statuses, a positive separation of some titles, and those who cannot form public opinion remain in the background. For this reason, public engineers lagged far behind the professions that are considered equivalent to engineers in the public sector and many other occupational groups in terms of income. He even has a considerably lower income than the personnel he is his supervisor. In order to eliminate this income inequality; We demand that a new payment item be created under the name of 'Technical Responsibility Payment' for all engineers working in the public sector in return for the great responsibility and devoted work they have taken," Çelik said.
“WE REQUEST AN EXTENSIVE PROFESSIONAL LAW”
By requesting the occupational law, "We demand an 'Engineering Profession Law' in order to evaluate the knowledge, experience and experience and regulate the title, authority, scope, working conditions, career steps, specialization in the profession and professional development of the engineering profession that requires special expertise," Çelik added.
INCOME DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OTHER PROFESSIONAL GROUPS OF ENGINEERS
Stating that the income gap widened with the professions where engineers are considered equal, Çelik said, "Since the July salary hike regulations are a general regulation, they have no effect on public engineers, but the income gap between them and the occupational groups that are considered equivalent by law has widened even more. We demand that the income of public engineers be increased to the income level of professions with similar incomes and considered equivalent to engineers in the public sector until recently. We demand that all gains be reflected in retirement and that an arrangement such as an additional pension allowance be made for retired engineers."
