Public Sector Employees Anticipate Updated Wage Negotiations

Workers employed within government institutions are eagerly awaiting the government’s revised collective bargaining offer for the upcoming years 2025 and 2026. The initial proposal, announced recently, proposed a 16% increase in the first half of 2025 and an additional 8% in the second half, along with a 7% increase in the first half of 2026 and 5% in the second half.

In a significant development, Minister of Labor and Social Security Vedat Işıkhan convened with representatives from TÜRK-İŞ, including its president Atalay and affiliated union leaders, at the ministry to discuss these contract negotiations as part of the ongoing Public Framework Protocol talks.

Following a closed-door meeting lasting approximately 90 minutes, both Atalay and his team addressed the press to share insights regarding the discussions. During his remarks, Atalay emphasized that the initial offer submitted last week by TÜHİS, the entity representing the public employers in these negotiations, was unacceptable both from the perspective of workers and public opinion. He pointed out that the proposal was considerably below expectations.

Atalay also revealed that Minister Vedat Işıkhan is expected to present a new wage increase proposal soon. When asked about the timing of this announcement, Atalay responded, “Minister Bey states, ‘This is the first offer. We will submit additional proposals later.’ The exact date of the next offer remains uncertain.”
