The 7th Ordinary Congress of the Memur-Sen Confederation was held on May 1st in Ankara under the slogan “Strong Struggle from Local to Universal”. The event was attended by representatives from political parties, non-governmental organizations, numerous foreign trade union leaders, and over 7,000 civil servants.
In his speech at the General Assembly, re-eleceted Memur-Sen President Ali Yalçın,emphasized that there are some economic fluctuations in Turkey, just as there are in the world, and he addressed the expectations of public servants. He stated, “Like in the whole world, our country is also facing some problems... Prices have gone up, rents have become exorbitant. Price instability is deepening the existing problem. The purchasing power of fixed and low-income individuals has decreased. From the very beginning, we’ve noted that the most significant development for us is low inflation and price stability. As the labor force, we appreciate the initiatives taken and want them to be sustainable. In this context, we believe that a Strong Turkey can only be pos
sible with strong civil servants and we declare once again that we will contribute to the “Vision of the Turkish Century” with the understanding that “the strength of labor is the strength of Turkey.” We also believe that this can only be achieved through the improvement of the economic and social rights of public servants.”
