The second half of the year has arrived, but the livelihood problems of retirees and workers are not on the government's agenda. No increase in the minimum wage, which has been below the hunger line for months, is being considered. Although workers' and Bag-Kur's pensions will increase in line with inflation in the second half of the year, most of them will still remain below the hunger line. Civil servant confederations' requests for additional raises were also not accepted. Collective agreement raise rates for civil servants will decrease continuously until the beginning of 2028.
