The negotiations for the Public Collective Labor Agreements Framework Protocol, where the salary increases of approximately 600 thousand public workers will be determined, are expected to present the initial offer to the workers. The process continues in the negotiations for the 2025 Public Collective Labor Agreements Framework Protocol, which covers nearly 600 thousand workers in public institutions such as highways, railways, power generation plants, ministries, universities, and hospitals. During the negotiations that started with the joint salary demand of TÜRK-İŞ and HAK-İŞ being presented to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security on February 27, a large part of the administrative provisions has been negotiated. TÜHİS, which put forward the demand to raise the minimum daily wage to 1800 lira for workers, followed by a 50% increase for the first six months of 2025, and a 25% raise for the subsequent six-month periods, along with an additional 10% prosperity share, continues its cost analysis regarding the demand. It is expected that TÜHİS will present its initial offer to the workers in the coming days after the completion of the cost analysis. Following the initial offer from the public employer, the negotiation process between the parties will accelerate. The 8th Term Collective Agreement negotiations, covering the years 2026-2027, to determine the salary increase rates for approximately 4 million civil servants and 2.5 million retired civil servants, will begin as of August 1. In this context, the 2025 Public Collective Labor Agreements Framework Protocol, which concerns public workers, is also important for collective labor agreements to be signed in the private sector, such as the Turkey Metal Industrialists’ Union (MESS) Group Collective Labor Agreement.
