There is a belatedness on the subject of development of public officials unionism in Turkey. However, the changes made at the referendum on 12th September 2010 on current 1982 Constitution showed that, compared with past years more effort has been made to improve the public officials’ union rights and to provide the suitability to international norms by the present government, public opinion and business world. In this study as an important example of this effort of the constitutional amendment on 12 September 2010 in working life and their effects on public officials unionism was analyzed by comment and content analysis method. Thus, for public officials collective bargaining turned to collective agreement, it can be said that by making the secondary regulations in the future the official unions can gain the right of strike that they longed for. However, before that the matter must be solved is that the term official must be clarified precisely and what are utilities and the duty of senior public administrations and who are the officials that do these duties must be redetermined
