The expectation for permanent staffing among workers employed under subcontract in public institutions and organizations continues. Tens of thousands of employees are striving to keep job security and permanent staffing demands on the agenda.
On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, there were no new developments regarding the issue. Nevertheless, subcontracted personnel remain focused on possible announcements from Ankara.
The most frequently asked question among workers is when subcontracted workers will be transitioned to permanent staff. There is an expectation that a positive or negative announcement could be made soon.
Previously, Turkish Trade Union Confederation (Türk-İş) President Ergün Atalay stated that prioritizing the permanent staffing of subcontracted workers, especially those working in State Economic Enterprises (KİT), is necessary.
HAK-İŞ President Mahmut Arslan also advocated for regulations to be made for subcontracted workers employed in municipalities and public institutions.
The long-discussed expectation for permanent staffing in the public eye is bringing the debate on job security back to the forefront. So far, no concrete steps have been announced.
