In the press release, the Civil Servants Confederation (DMK) demanded that the auxiliary services class (YHS) be abolished and the employees be transferred to positions appropriate to their educational background and actual duties.
The Confederation of Civil Servants and its affiliated unions protested in front of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. Making a press statement at the protest, Tuncay Cengiz, Secretary General of the Civil Servants Confederation, stated that the employees of the auxiliary services class have been experiencing an unresolved grievance for 61 years and said, "We have gathered here today not only to explain the problem of a professional group, but also to entrust to the conscience of our nation an injustice that has been ignored for 61 years. We are once again announcing the voice of the 140 thousand auxiliary services class employees who have served their state faithfully for years. Patience is over now, the cure has run out. All that remains is the resentment and resentment accumulated over the years." "It's a big disappointment," he said.
Stating that the auxiliary services class personnel are suffering, Cengiz said, "Public employees, who were regulated as civil servants and employees in the Civil Servants Law enacted in 1926, were divided into classes with the Law No. 657 in 1965, and the auxiliary services class was created in civil servant positions for the first time in this form. There are professions, crafts, and qualifications under this class. However, for some reason, the view of the employees of 1926 never changes. The auxiliary services class is defined as civil servants." "The auxiliary services class personnel, most of whom are highly educated and are accepted as professionals through KPSS, are seen as employees who can do any job," he said.
"Although he is a civil servant who started his career with KPSS, he does not have a job description."
Stating that there are 22 different professions in the auxiliary services class, Cengiz said, "There are cooks, assistant technicians, heaters and maintenance personnel. Although each of them is a civil servant who started their job with KPSS, they do not have job descriptions. Today, a cook works, tomorrow he becomes a cleaner, the next day he carries documents, the next day he distributes tea. In which legal state in the world does the profession of a civil servant change every morning according to the whim of his superior? Unfortunately, the answer is in our country. Because 140 thousand civil servants whose job description is unclear, their superiors on that day." "He does things according to his mood. This is not a pattern of activity, on the contrary, it is a picture of disorder."
Cengiz argued that a short legal regulation added to the omnibus bill would be sufficient to abolish the auxiliary services class, and demanded that employees be transferred to service classes appropriate to their education and profession, job descriptions be clarified, additional indicators be rearranged according to educational status, and cleaning and similar services be carried out by the personnel employed for these jobs.
After the press statement, confederation members ended the protest by sifting flour and hanging a sieve. - ANKARA
