The negotiations for the 2025 Public Collective Labor Agreement Framework Protocol, which includes nearly 600,000 workers in public institutions and organizations such as highways, railways, electricity generation plants, ministries, universities, and hospitals, are ongoing.
DAILY MINIMUM WAGE WILL BE RAISED TO 1800 LIRA
With the joint wage demand of TÜRK-İŞ and HAK-İŞ presented to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security on February 27, the negotiations have covered a large portion of the administrative articles. TÜHİS, which has brought to the table the demand of the workers' side to raise the daily minimum wage to 1800 lira, to increase wages by 50% for the first six months of 2025 and by 25% for the other six-month periods, along with a 10% welfare share, is continuing its cost analysis regarding the demand.
THE EYES OF CIVIL SERVANTS ARE TURNED TO AUGUST 1
After the completion of the cost analysis, TÜHİS is expected to present its first offer to the workers' side in the coming days. Following the first offer from the public employer, the negotiation process between the parties will accelerate. On the other hand, the 8th Term Collective Agreement negotiations, which will determine the wage increase rate for approximately 4 million civil servants and 2.5 million retired civil servants, will begin on August 1, covering the years 2026-2027.
In this context, the 2025 Public Collective Labor Agreement Framework Protocol, which concerns public workers, is also significant in terms of collective labor agreements to be signed in the private sector, especially the Group Collective Labor Agreement of the Turkish Metal Industrialists' Union (MESS), similar to the collective agreement of civil servants.
