In the framework of the efforts to determine the minimum wage that will be valid in the new year, the Commission for the Determination of the Minimum Wage, made up of workers, employers and government representatives, held its first meeting under the chairmanship of Zehra Zümrüt Selçuk, Minister of Family, Labor and Social Services. Irgat, who chaired the workers’ delegation, said that the whole world is in a painful process due to the Kovid-19 epidemic. He said: “Today we have the opportunity to correct the minimum wage, which is one of the unfair practices. It is time to pay for their work by endangering their lives. As in any period of crisis, low-income workers, workers, are victims. The crisis bill is always. Workers are separated like men. There is a ban on dismissal, but people who take unpaid leave in non-union workplaces cannot receive even half the minimum wage. Cash wage support of Lire 39 per day was provided for the unpaid leave, which was taken at the will of the employer without the workers’ approval. This support of Lire 1,168 per month was insufficient. “
