Stalemate in Discussions on ATA: Proposals and Contradictions
October 30, 2025
The government proposes Automatic Cost of Living Adjustment (ATA) for all workers, causing a deadlock in negotiations with employers and unions. Despite meetings, employers oppose applying ATA to everyone, while unions have not publicly accepted the government's proposal. This has led to limited chances of reaching an agreement. The government now faces a dilemma: continue with its proposal or back down, potentially facing political repercussions. This situation highlights that the social dialogue has not yielded positive outcomes.
