When we think about retirement salaries and forest workers, we realize once again how important social justice is in Turkey.

President Erdoğan spoke of the heroism of workers who lost their lives during forest fires. However, is the daily wage of 53 TL given to these workers justifiable?

Forest workers are at great risk to protect the country's forests. However, the salaries they receive do not reflect the sacrifices they make.

Workers like Eyüp Dereli are asking union officials whether they will receive a salary increase. However, the answers to these questions are often negative.

The uncertainties in the public collective bargaining process further complicate the living standards of workers. The government's proposed salary increases are insufficient against inflation.

As a result, retirement salaries and the low wages of forest workers urgently require a solution to ensure social justice in Turkey.
