It is an honor and a source of pride for the railway workers, if our Prime Minister said, "Turgut Özal is mentioned by highways, I want to be mentioned by railways."
Cankesen defended that the employees of the railway had been forgotten since the 1950 year and their wages had been lost.
“High Speed ​​Train (YHT) is very nice, we go 1.5 hours but nothing has changed for us. High-speed train arrived but there was no increase in employee wages. The only advantage is that time should be a counterpart to the labor of employees who provide this time. We want the return of our labor. Railway employees should also be in a profitable state, while we serve you, while we take you to Ankara in 1.5 hours, let us take you with pleasure and happier, let's not worry about the bread and school money that our child wants at home. After all, if we are free from financial difficulties, we believe that we will provide better service. The loyalty and the loyal railway workers should be freed from the victimization of 50 years. We will continue our service with the same sacrifice, we will do it to the end, but we will also take our right. Beyond that, there's nothing. "

“The content of the law stipulates that third parties will be able to come and buy railroad cars, machines and transport on railways. We can also say that the railroads are open to the public. You can think like the same State Airports Authority (DHMİ). Here, the navigation part and the business part are separated. The government's savings are in this direction. It is in an effort to compare the railways to the DHMI model. ”
Cankesen stated that the transition processes are troublesome and that they especially care about the issue of "job security" and that there is no problem in this regard.
Describing the details of the law, Cankesen continued:
“The law is in force as of May and restructuring works have started. At the end of this year, TCDD will be divided into two: one main body and one TCDD Tasimacilik. Navigation services will be carried out in TCDD transportation, maybe our 8-10 thousand friends will move to this unit. Arrangements have been made to ensure that our friends who remain at the TCDD main body do not experience difficulties. As a result of the intervention of our union, we ensured that each of our friends stayed in their own province. We did not make any of our employees victimized by sending them from the province. Although our competitors called it 'privatization', we said 'liberalization'. As a result, we did not experience the problems brought by the law to our railway workers, but with the development experienced, the railway workers who provided it are not where they deserve right now. The wages they receive among many institutions are low, there is no share of wear. ”

He should hear about it and not ignore us at the Ministry of Transport. ”
