Following his meeting with President Erdoğan, TÜRK-İŞ President Atalay made a statement regarding the minimum wage, saying, “I hope it will be determined before Thursday.” President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and TÜRK-İŞ President Ergün Atalay met. Atalay, who made statements to reporters after the meeting that lasted approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, said the following: “I had the opportunity to explain it to him for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. We have come to a certain point. Now I will go to the Minister of Labor from here. The Minister is waiting for me. Then if we can meet this evening, if not, I will meet the commission in the morning. There will be a meeting with the TİSK President tomorrow. I hope that the result will be reached before Thursday. I have conveyed our demands to our President. We have come to a certain point. Now, I cannot say anything until we reach a certain point with the Minister of Labor and the TİSK President. I am the official mouthpiece. I am the final point. I am not saying anything that will cause trouble or embarrass myself or you. I hope that it will be a figure close to what we demand. I hope that it will be before Thursday. "There's a 50 percent chance it'll happen tomorrow. It won't happen tonight. It won't happen until Thursday. If I say what I said here, there's no point in getting people's expectations without taking things for granted. So let me talk to the minister once more. At worst, we'll reach a certain point on Wednesday."
