Memur-Sen also rebelled: Starting today…
The president of Memur-Sen, Ali Yalçın, stated in the message he published after the SCT hikes in the Official Gazette last night that the price increases will reduce purchasing power.
Noting that the public employer must update its inflation expectation, Yalçın stated that the collective bargaining table must be approached taking these increases into account.
‘BUYING POWER WILL DECREASE’
Yalçın made the following statements in his message on Twitter:
“Gas prices increased by 25 percent last night.
These increases in fuel prices will be reflected in all expense items starting today. Prices will rise, inflation will rise, and the purchasing power of fixed income and retirees will continue to decline.
The public employer must update the inflation expectation and target figures. Considering these increases to the 7th Period Collective Agreement Board; You should present offers that are fair, will increase purchasing power and meet our expectations.”
