«ATA Bills» in Occupied Territories Sent to «Parliamentary Committee» for Discussion

The 11 contentious «bills» regarding the Automatic Cost of Living Adjustment (ATA) have been sent to the relevant «committee» of the «parliament» in the occupied territories. Trade unions are hoping for dialogue and consensus for their approval.

The plenary session convened after a meeting of the KEE's «parliamentary group». Resmigye Eroglu Tsianaltai, «chairperson of the economic committee», withdrew the 11 «bills» back to the «committee».

Sila Usiar Injirli, president of the RTP, stressed the need to avoid repeating mistakes and the need to set a date for early «elections», suggesting June as a suitable period.

Unal Ustel, president of the KEE and «prime minister», stated that the ATA «bills» were sent to «parliament» after discussion with stakeholders and reminded of the 50% payment for ATA at the beginning of the year. He also mentioned that the date of the «elections» appears to be January.

Arslan Bitsakli, president of the Türk Sen union, noted that the ATA adjustment is not a wage increase, but a mechanism to protect purchasing power.
