HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICE WORKERS UNION PRESIDENT CRITICIZES
Stating that there are citizens who cannot afford meat at home due to increasing economic problems, Health and Social Service Workers Union (SES) Co-President Mehmet Sıddık Akın said, "Instead of organizing dinners for us, they should solve our food problems at the hospital.
Meals that are never enough for a balanced and adequate diet, unhygienic food, and news about health workers, inpatients, and their companions being poisoned by food are frequently on the agenda.
Most recently, 71 health workers were poisoned at Esenyurt State Hospital, and we brought this to the agenda. Because we brought this to the agenda, they did not allow us to distribute our May 1st leaflets in the cafeteria," he said.
