İYİ Party Chairman Müsavat Dervişoğlu spoke at the closing program of the "Labor Workshop for a GOOD Future" held in a hotel in Ankara and announced the final declaration.
Stating that they broke new ground in Türkiye by bringing together labor organizations from different views, from TÜRK-İŞ to HAK-İŞ, from DİSK to Memur-Sen, at the workshop, Dervişoğlu said that they agreed on the view that the current order is unfair to the sweat of their brow.
"THE REAL SCANDAL IS IN THE ROOT MONTHLY SYSTEM"
Dervişoğlu stated that low monthly payment rates and injustices in the update coefficients condemn retirees to live below the hunger line and said:
"Today, the lowest pension is 23 thousand 552 liras. The hunger limit for a family of four is 37 thousand 801 liras. But the real scandal is in the root pension system. It seems like an increase has been made on paper, but the money withdrawn by millions of retirees from ATMs has not increased even by a penny. In other words, a zero increase is actually imposed on retirees. The gap created by the root pension calculation among citizens must be closed with a permanent adjustment regulation. Internship and apprenticeship insurance should be counted as the starting date, this "The victimization must be ended as soon as possible. And none of our retirees should be sentenced to a salary below the hunger threshold in return for the life they have given to this state. The difference between the total income of the public employee and the pension should be measured systematically, and arrangements should be made urgently to prevent heavy income loss in retirement."
"THE 'TRADESMAN COURIER' MODEL IS IMPOSED ON HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE"
"Will the machine replace the worker or make the worker more productive?" Pointing out that institutions and politics determine the answer to the question, Dervişoğlu emphasized that the way to qualified employment is through qualified production.
Pointing out that the "tradesman courier" model has been imposed on hundreds of thousands of young people, Dervişoğlu said, "A new class is forming that is insecure, unable to plan its future, and living with the fear of losing its job at any moment. As this mass grows, not only the economy but also democracy becomes fragile."
Dervişoğlu said that their goal is to move from a model based on assembly, labor and contract industry to a real production economy with high added value and R&D focus.
"AN ORDER SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED WHERE EMPLOYEES CAN LOOK AT THE FUTURE WITH CONFIDENCE"
Stating that there is a need for an employment guarantee that supports the transition from school to work for young people, and a widespread, accessible and publicly supported nursery and care network for women, Dervişoğlu said, "It is essential that care labor be compensated in the social security system and that labor confined to the home be made visible. A society that confines its youth and women to the home also imprisons its own future in darkness."
Emphasizing that the labor issue cannot be addressed only under the heading of wages, working hours and employment, Dervişoğlu said:
"Labor is directly related to human dignity. If a person works, produces, spends years, but cannot get paid for his labor, the issue is not only economic. It is also a matter of justice. Our duty today is to move from an understanding that sees labor as a cost item to an understanding that puts labor at the center of development, welfare and social justice. We have to establish an order where the employee can not only make a living but also look to his future with confidence."
