Memur-Sen President Ali Yalçın Announces the Return of Public Transport Service App
In a recent announcement on social media, Memur-Sen President Ali Yalçın revealed that the public transport service app will be reinstated following the ‘Savings Package in the Public Sector’ introduced by the Minister of Treasury and Finance, Mehmet Şimşek. This decision comes as a relief to many public sector employees who have been affected by the suspension of the service.
Background and Controversy
The public transport service app, a benefit gained by Memur-Sen in the 3rd Collective Bargaining Agreement, was abruptly halted due to budgetary constraints and austerity measures imposed by the government. This sudden suspension left many employees stranded without a reliable mode of transportation to and from work, causing undue hardship and inconvenience.
President Ali Yalçın highlighted the injustice of depriving public sector workers of this essential service, emphasizing that it was a violation of their rights and a breach of the agreements made during the collective bargaining process. Memur-Sen’s advocacy efforts, including negotiations with the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, as well as consultations with the Ministry of Treasury and Finance, ultimately led to a positive outcome.
Resolution and Reinstatement
Following fruitful discussions and concerted efforts, the Directorate of Legal Affairs and Legislation of the Presidency of Administrative Affairs has issued a directive to all public institutions and organizations, confirming the continuation of the public transport service. This development signifies a significant victory for Memur-Sen and a triumph for the rights and well-being of public sector employees.
President Ali Yalçın expressed his gratitude for the collaborative approach taken by government authorities in addressing this issue and reinstating the public transport service. He underscored the importance of upholding the agreements reached through collective bargaining and ensuring that public sector workers are treated fairly and equitably.
In conclusion, the reinstatement of the public transport service app is a positive step towards enhancing the welfare and efficiency of public sector employees. It serves as a testament to the power of advocacy and collective action in safeguarding the rights and interests of workers in the public sector.
