While the study calculated the cost of living for the last five months as 40.84 percent, it is said that this figure may be in the 47 percent range by the end of the year.
Both the public and private sectors were mobilized by the discussions on the cost of living.
While the employer’s proposal of 22 thousand TL at the Minimum Wage Determination Commission meeting held last week fell far short of these figures, the unions express their opinion that at least the cost of living should be reflected in the salaries in the private sector.
On the other hand, unions, which always remind that reflecting the cost of living on salaries is not a salary increase, think that the minimum wage should not remain below the hunger line.
