 The company «SOMA Komur Isletmeleri AS» that owns themine, has criminal responsibility because it didn’t take even the elementary security measures, but also by the fact that it has increased the use of subcontractors an drelentless pressureon workers to produce as much as possible in miserable working conditions.

 According to the representatives of miners, there has been a good collaboration of the company management SOMA (and other groups in this area of activity) with the Government ofTurkey that prevented the adoption and enactment of any legislation to improve working conditions and the expansion of trade union freedoms in many of themines in Turkey, in the supposed name of  “development”.
