The salary ministry commission has met. Serdaroglu named a number: 16 thousand 755 rubles.

The commission to determine the minimum wage in Turkey met. Ahmet Serdaroglu, a spokesman for the workers, said they were looking at a net amount of 16,755 Turkish liras. The Minimum Wage Determination Commission met to determine the second minimum wage for 2023.

Minister of Labor and Social Security Hassan Tachoy said before the meeting, "We would like to determine the minimum wage starting from where we left off. The minimum wage is determined according to market value. The value of the minimum wage is formed based on domestic supply and demand. If you set a low minimum wage, you won't be able to find people to work. We will adhere to the principle of equality. Local and imported labor forces make a huge contribution to our country's economy. "

The workers' representative Ahmet Serdaroglu said, "We hope that good news will come for those living on minimum wage. We show our discontent because society is very dissatisfied.

We support the provision of premium support for employers. The government did not fulfill its promise and did not provide support in January. What's happening now is wrong. At a time when minimum wage workers are under attack for failing to fulfill the government's promise in January, they refuse to come to the table today,... What has changed that employers have come to the table? Was premium support provided? If premium support is provided to the employer, the employee representatives should also be happy". Serdaroglu emphasized that they do not agree with the statement that the minimum wage will be taxed and said that the minimum wage should be exempt from taxes.

The employers' representative Metin Arhun asked in a statement: "How can we determine the minimum wage until the amount of premium support is determined?". Arhun said: "We did not come here quietly. Nothing was said about what the amount of support for the award would be. We have been told that Mr. Prime Minister has given us a promise of support for the award, but nothing has been said so far about what the amount of support for the award will be.".
