Recent developments regarding pension salaries are creating excitement!

Millions of civil servants and retirees are focused on the upcoming salary increase from the collective agreement. If an agreement is not reached between the government and the union, the decision will be made by the Arbitration Board.

According to the government's latest offer, an 11% increase is proposed for the first half of 2026 and a 7% increase for the second half. Additionally, the proposal for a 1,000 lira increase in the base salary has been reiterated.

Memur-Sen demands a cumulative increase of 88% for 2026 and 46% for 2027. However, the government's offer falls short of the union's expectations.

In 2023, civil servants received a general increase of 8,077 lira. However, retired civil servants could not benefit from this increase, and the difference has now risen to 16,000 lira.

Civil servants approaching retirement will receive much lower pension salaries than their working salaries because they will not be able to receive the general increase upon retirement.

In conclusion, the right to a general increase for retired civil servants has not yet been clarified. It is advisable to keep track of developments!
