Second Salary Increase Proposal for Retirees is Coming!

Exciting developments are happening regarding retirement salaries!
The government will announce the second salary increase proposal for public employees and retirees today. The first proposal was set at 10% for the first half of 2026 and 6% for the second half. However, this proposal was rejected by Memur-Sen as insufficient.

Memur-Sen President Ali Yalçın stated that he met with Minister of Labor Vedat Işıkhan and that the new proposal should come today. All eyes are on the meeting at the ministry.
There is curiosity about whether the new proposal will meet the expectations of civil servants. Economist Mahmut Aydoğmuş expressed that the likelihood of exceeding 14% is low.
It was emphasized that the determination of the increase rates should take budget balances into account. Public workers and retirees should be cautious during this process and follow developments closely.
