The Ignored Loss: Finding a Solution to the Collapsing Lira Exchange Rate and Public Employee Salaries

The political authority continues to ignore the need to find a solution to the loss of the purchasing power of employees of public administrations for their salaries, due to the collapse of the exchange rate of the lira against the dollar. Over a period of 4 years, the authority put in place patchwork solutions that did not help stop the depletion of the value of salaries, including supplementing salaries with social assistance.

As a result of these useless solutions, “the basis of salaries for 80 percent of employees is still between 11 and 20 dollars, and the exchange compensation on its basis is sometimes less than 250 dollars. These salaries are still seven times after deductions, with a value ranging between 130 and 140 dollars, and in order to obtain them, they have to They must work for fourteen days, costing most of them a transport allowance of between eight and fourteen million pounds,” according to a statement by the Public Administration Employees Association.

Despite the dire situation, “the government refuses to incorporate the increases, despite their fragility, on the basis of the salary, in order to avoid them being counted in exchange compensations and pensions.” The Association called for “correcting the value of exchange compensation and stopping freezing the value of family compensation, which was frozen in the nineties at a limit of 33 thousand pounds for the child and 66 thousand pounds for the wife, and recalculating it on the basis of the minimum wage at all times, and providing workers in the public administration with a transportation allowance calculated according to For the distances separating the employee’s residence from his work center, and according to the applicable price of gasoline at all times, and the increase in educational grants and social benefits in proportion to the high price index and the current school fees.
The League stated that “there is nothing new in the government in terms of health coverage, medicine, medicine and hospitalization. There is nothing new in terms of educational grants and finding a radical solution to the dilemma of medicine and hospitalization.”

And given that the government did not take any positive step in this file, the administrative body of the League announced, “the continuation of the forced suspension of work, starting tomorrow, Wednesday, until Friday, October 13.”
