PAME Condemns the Escalation of Authoritarianism and intimidation tactics Against Trade Union organizations in Turkey.

Last example of the intimidation and antiworkers’ tactics of the Turkish Government against the workers was the prohibition of Nakliyat Is Union protest to demand better minimum wage. The attempt of the of the Union to realize its protest, in spite of the prohibition, met the numerous police, riot police forces cars and vehicles, which surrounded the union’s offices.

The multinationals and the capitalists of Turkey make huge profits from the work of the Turkish workers. The business groups use the developments so as to impose their will and raise their profits, by prohibiting all workers demands and struggles.

PAME expresses its solidarity with the Nakliyat Is Union, the workers and the trade unions of Turkey that continue to fight against very difficult conditions.

We condemn the antiworkers’ practices and intimidations of the Turkish Government and the Business Groups, against the workers and the people of Turkey.
