Public workers landed in the square

The Confederation of Public Workers Unions (KESK) took to the squares to protest against the government’s offer of a raise for civil servants and retired civil servants.

In the statement made by the officials of the KESK Branch Platform in Ankara, “Wages are melting due to price increases, VAT increases and rain increases. If the public workers are losing in all the collective agreements, there are unions that accept the situation and applaud the increases on their feet”, the following call was made:

“We are calling: come on, let’s fight together for once, let’s use our power of production.”

In the action the slogans of “torture to my right and left, here is the AKP” and “No to the Union Managed by the State” were chanted.

LEFT WORK ON AUGUST 16

On the other hand, KESK, in response to the government’s proposal to increase the decision in the negotiations of the Collective Agreement, carried out a nationwide work stoppage on August 16.

The protests were called “to fight together for our rights against the yellow unions, against the proposal of the CIS government that imposes conditions of misery, against the usurpation of economic, social, personal and democratic rights.”
