Crisis Over Cost-of-Living Measures Deepens as Unions Reject Government Proposal
Tensions between the government and public sector unions over cost-of-living adjustments continue to escalate, with unions firmly rejecting the administration’s latest proposal. The standoff outside the Parliament building persists.
During a group meeting of the National Unity Party (UBP), the government indicated a willingness to meet with unions again, but union representatives have responded negatively. Union leaders emphasized they will not return to the negotiating table, stating, “We will not compromise at this stage.”
The government’s new proposal envisions making the planned cost-of-living payment in April, followed by a second adjustment in September. The plan is intended to be added to the existing bill for a vote in the Parliament’s General Assembly.
Unions, however, refuse to negotiate on the new proposal and demand the withdrawal of the current bill, continuing their demonstration outside Parliament.
Meanwhile, the Republican Turkish Party (CTP) completed its own group meeting. Observers also noted that the main entrance for MPs to the Parliament building remains locked.
