Turkey's largest labor confederation Türk-İş, held the first day of the 23rd Ordinary General Assembly which will last three-days in Ankara yesterday. Turk-Is Confederation President Ergun Atalay, said that the general assembly was not invited politicians, "the workers are the country's trade union. The boss, the municipality, the parties' union will not. So there are only workers and laborers in this hall," he said.
Atalay emphasized that the main agenda of the minimum wage is the negotiations for the determination of the minimum wage rate of 2020.
Before the start of the meetings we presented three data. let a person walk through a monthly living wage and not fall below this figure. Now we will see what will be started meetings.
"WE SHOULD TAKE OFF THE MASKS OF USURPERS"
Atalay pointed out that the tax regulations passed by the Parliament in 2020 are far from justice, "There are 600 deputies in the Parliament, hold bosses, there are deputies from every professional group. But there are no workers. Here we need to see it. Because the rights of those who usurp our rights or pretend to look at us as long as we do not download the masks can not get our money," he said.
Atalay, underlining that he and his confederations have launched a smear campaign in certain media organs in recent years, "I am calling out to those journalists who write us in the corners. It is easy to write trade unionists, to criticize them. It is the lynching of trade union organization," he said.
