Özgür Özel will visit HAK-İŞ and TÜRK-İŞ regarding the minimum wage.

The Minimum Wage Commission met yesterday to determine the minimum wage that will be applied in 2025. The new minimum wage has increased by 30% to 22,104 lira.

There was also a reaction from CHP leader Özgür Özel, who has repeatedly stated, "We are not below 30,000 TL." In a statement on his social media account, he expressed the following:

"The minimum wage of 22,104 TL determined by the hastily held Commission meeting is the last indication that Tayyip Erdoğan has lost touch with the realities of this country. Those who have been claiming victory in Syria for days have imposed a humiliating wage on workers, forcing them to endure poverty.

"THEY HAVE CRUSHED THE MINIMUM WAGE EARNERS UNDER INFLATION"

Those who engage in false heroism over Syria and obscure the real agenda have once again deprived workers of their rights amidst the fog. Since it was first set in January, the minimum wage, which has eroded by at least 7,000 lira due to the rising cost of living, has only been increased by 5,000 lira. While the inflation rate for minimum wage earners is 80%, even the TÜİK inflation rate is 47%, and millions of minimum wage earners have been crushed by inflation. Shame on those who take away the rights of the workers in this country and those who bear the consequences. I congratulate the Türk-İş management for not attending the forced meeting and invite the working class to use the power that comes from production."
