All those who participate in social dialogues must adhere to the framework of the agreements that have been made. Because our labor group is a special labor organization and does not represent the entire labor community; With the amendment of the law, the representatives of all organizations should be present in the Supreme Labor Council and the demands of all the labor community should be raised. Because if they continued their bargaining and actions, they might have been able to get better numbers for workers and minimum wage earners from the Supreme Labor Council, but their insistence on unconventional criteria made them unable to represent the working community well. to be
