While the statements of the government before the negotiations that the minimum wage should be in the $500 band before the elections remain in mind, the question marks are how much the increase in foreign currency after the elections will reflect.
In the minimum wage negotiations, it is expected that the livelihood problems of the workers will be resolved and the employers will present their demands for increasing the incentives given.
While the rise in exchange rates and the increase in inflation figures are hurting the narrow and fixed income earners, the negotiations for an interim raise in the minimum wage will start on Tuesday, June 13.
While an increase in the minimum wage is expected with the negotiations, the promise of 500 dollars for the minimum wage by the ruling wing before the elections remains in mind.
How much the sudden increase in foreign exchange will reflect after the elections is another question mark. Employees await the announcement of the new minimum wage.
The first meeting of the Minimum Wage Determination Commission, which directly concerns nearly 7 million employees, will be held next Tuesday for the "intermediate raise".
While the purchasing power of the citizens decreases due to the economic conditions experienced with the election, the eyes of all minimum wage workers will be at the meeting.
While the ruling wing stated that the minimum wage should not be below $500 before the elections, it is a matter of curiosity how much the promise will be met with the rise in dollar exchange rates.
WORKERS' EXPECTATIONS INCREASED WITH INCREASES GIVEN BY THE GOVERNMENT
Against the deteriorated wage distribution in the public sector with the increase in the salaries of public workers before the election, President Erdoğan's promise that the base civil servant salaries would be 22,000 liras before the election gave hope to the workers working with the minimum wage.
The working class, which demands an increase in line with the existing economic conditions, brings up the demand for a wage that will meet the living conditions.
The expectations of the workers rose to 12 thousand liras with the promise of "500 dollars" expressed before the election.
THE EMPLOYER SIDE WILL DEMAND INCENTIVES AGAINST THE COSTS
While the employers demanded that some regulations be brought to them in the face of economic conditions, the demand for an increase in the incentives especially came to the fore.
A regulation is also requested regarding the financial burden created by the cost of a minimum wage worker.
