ANKARA - The head of a Turkish labor union confederation warned the government not to use money from the unemployment benefit fund for other purposes, Milliyet newspaper said, citing a letter from Hak-İş confederation’s chief Salim Uslu.
Uslu said the government has already used money in the fund to pay for irrigation projects and the union would oppose any other attempts to use the fund in ways that don't directly relate to its aims, Milliyet reported on Friday. The best way to fight the crisis is to increase payments to the jobless and extend the period over which they can claim from the fund, Uslu said.
