General strike in Northern Cyprus over frozen cost-of-living allowances
The Basın-Sen union warns that without increasing cost-of-living allowances, the minimum wage will also not be adjusted, leading to further income losses for private sector employees. Following the government decision to freeze cost-of-living allowances, unions went on strike. Public life came to a standstill - exams were cancelled, municipal employees stopped work, and civil society organizations plan a march to parliament.
