The threat of inflation affecting the differences in pension among retirees is also endangering the sugar industry. Isa Gok, the President of Sugar Works Union, mentioned that nearly 2,000 experienced employees could retire, stating that “the sector will be harmed.” President Gok also expressed the union’s demands regarding the tax system and the minimum wage. Isa Gok, the General President of Sugar-Works Union, called for a change in the tax system, saying, “A fair understanding must be introduced.” Isa Gok stated, “First and foremost, it is imperative for the existing tax system in our country to be based on incomes. A tax system that is adapted to everyone’s income, from those earning less to those earning more, should be introduced.” Reminding of the salary gap that may arise due to inflation between 2024 and 2025 retirees, Gok mentioned that there could be a shortage of qualified personnel of about 35% in the sugar industry. President Gok said, “When we evaluate the sugar industry, I believe around 2,000 of our colleagues in training will retire. The retirement of our colleagues will once again harm the sector; this harm will be greater than the one caused by privatization.” Speaking in Antalya, Gok also addressed the minimum wage determination studies, suggesting that the structure of the commission needs to change. Gok stated, “Approaching the minimum wage as something that only slightly offsets inflation for workers is not very accurate. If there is no increase in the share we get from income, then the minimum wage is not realistic.” President Gok mentioned that at the rally Turkish-Is will hold in Ankara on Sunday, all these issues will be raised.
