6,000 workers employed at the İZDOĞA, İZSU, İZBETON, and İZULAŞ companies could not reach an agreement on the 30 percent wage increase proposal.
The İzmir branches of the Belediye-İş Union, affiliated with Türk-İş, decided to strike and carried out a one-day work stoppage.

Gathering at Basmane Square, the workers marched to the İzmir Metropolitan Municipality Egemenlik Building, chanting slogans of "We will win by resisting."
