Minister Bilgin last-minute minimum wage statement:

Vedat Bilgin, Minister of Labor and Social Security, made statements about the agenda in the program Mind Circle presented by Semiha Sahin on the CNN Turk channel. Minister Bilgin said, "The abolition of the tax from the minimum wage is a revolution. This was an ideal of the late Ecevit, but he could not implement it, we were blessed to implement it. We do not allow the capital to be hostile to labor." said.

Vedat Bilgin, Minister of Labour and Social Security, has made the following statements: The main element in this process is to contribute to the flow of politics. Of course, I was formerly an Ankara deputy, and I am no stranger to politics. You know, in the first round, the Turkish nation evaluated it with great common sense, and my national will was revealed. 

What is the initial assessment? There is a difference of 14 points between the People's Alliance and the Nation Alliance. The AK Party has been in power for 21 years and the CHP has a 10-point difference in the opposition for 21 years. Of course, it would be wrong to say anything about the new cabinet to our president's evaluation, now.

The Republic of Turkiye is a social state. In the social state, the ministry is obliged to protect its employees. It's called a holy state. Ghazi Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who was on the verge of many impossibilities in the Republican era, took many steps to protect the employees. We must preserve that thought. This enriches the state. Because Turkiye is growing with the production of its workers. 

You know, Ataturk wants to establish a bank after the national struggle. He asks the people next to him, and he says are there any bankers among you? Nobody says anything. Nobody says anything, but Ataturk knows that Cemal Bey knows the banking sector. Then they put him in charge of isbank. From that day on, it has become a very important bank for Turkiye.

There are some studies that we do by determining the purchasing power and real value of money. We determine the change in real prices and do it accordingly, but I mentioned 500 dollars so that our citizens would remember. We made the biggest increase in the history of our republic, but now we will make the evaluations and raise again.

Removing the tax from the minimum wage is a revolution. This was an ideal of the late Ecevit, but he could not implement it, we were fortunate to implement it. We do not tolerate capital being antagonistic to labor.

REGIONAL MINIMUM WAGE EXPLANATION :

We now live in a global age of regional minimum wage and in this global age, many things like transportation are easy. When there is a regional minimum wage, it would be to punish our workers in certain regions. It also supports very fast-changing migration. Therefore, we do not consider the regional minimum wage.

WHITE FLAG APPLICATION :

It's been 15-20 days in the past weeks. We started the White Flag application. The White Flag application is as follows; If there is no insurance premium debt at a workplace if the employer does not owe income tax if the workers are free and join a union, we give a privilege to that workplace. We are giving the White Flag. We hang it in front of the workplace. And we offer him a number of privileges. Ease in export business. We give priority to employment in is- Kur. For example, when 500 workers are recruited, we pay them for 4 or 6 months as part of the training. We make them pay one point less than the social security support premium. We have a comprehensive study that we do.

THEY WILL RECEIVE ALL THE RIGHTS

Turkiye is still a young population, open until 2055. The criterion for this is: As long as we create employment in Turkey, there are young people who will create employment. The important thing here is: Turkiye should continue to grow. Paying premiums because we have to prioritize the efforts of people who have paid premiums with their hard work. Currently, over 1 million 200 thousand people are connected. Some banks may delay for a few days but it connects quickly. It is the first time that we have carried out the retirement of so many people. I'd want to thank everyone who helped me with this. All transactions will be finished by the end of the current month or during the first 15 days of the month that follows. They are going to be given all of their rights.

Let me first state that these were something that no coalition could solve in the parliamentary system. The presidential system has surpassed that. Every right project that we brought to our president was immediately put into practice. For example, the issue of subcontractors; should not be subcontracted when there are people doing the main work. For example, if you are going to build a road, the people who do the main work should work there on the highways. I can say this for many sectors. The last file we transferred was temporary workers. There are a few more subjects we haven't been able to cultivate. We will raise them when the Parliament opens.
