BAK-SEN Called for Abolition of the 2% Trade Union Threshold

The Confederation of Independent Civil Servants' Unions (BAK-SEN) applied to the Anayasa Mahkemesi (Constitutional Court) seeking the abolition of the 2% trade union threshold applicable to the collective agreement bonus.

The regulation in question stipulated that, for a civil servant to receive a collective agreement bonus, the union to which the employee belongs must have reached a membership rate of at least 2%. BAK-SEN challenged this condition on the grounds that it restricts trade union freedoms and is contrary to the Constitution.

As Kültür Emekçileri Sendikası, we support this initiative and advocate that all civil servants should benefit equally from trade union rights.
