Public servants need to be organized because of these reasons like narrowing of state facilities, decreasing privileges of public servants, improvement of democracy and although labor rights are developing, making no progress in public servants’ rights. The unionization movement of public servants, which fed by the unionization struggle of workers, started late all over the world but spread rapidly after the World War II. In our country, unionization of public servants which is guaranteed by international documents started in parallel with the right of unionization in 1961 Constitution; it was banned in 1971 and it was not regulated clearly in 1982 Constitution. Unionization of public servants which was started by teachers based on international documents confirmed by Turkey in 1986, gained legal and constitutional guarantee and rights of collective agreement are given by the constitutional change in 12 September 2010 but right to strike was not given. Trade unions of public servants weakened by fragmentations, began to take part of the union membership fee from state as a result of agreements signed with government so a relationship dependent on membership fee was established with the government. In spite of the prudent decision of Constitutional Court, dependency relation was reestablished. Today, trade unions of public servants are struggling at the grip of dependency of union membership fee and right of collective bargaining without right to strike. The most important condition for the achievement of public servants’ unionization movement is to be powerful. One of the most important sources of this power is the number of members and the others are power unity and independency.
