Fernas Mining workers to march to the ministry on the 50th day of their resistance!

The resistance of Fernas Mining workers, who were dismissed after joining the Independent Mine Workers Union in the Soma district of Manisa, continues. The miners, who have been resisting for 50 days, want to march from Kurtuluş Park to the Ministry of Energy.

The protests, which began when all miners working at the mine stopped work following the dismissal of three miners on August 19 for joining the union, have reached Ankara from Manisa over the past 50 days.

The miners, who have been keeping watch barefoot in Kurtuluş Park since October 2, attempted to march from the park to Parliament on October 10, but were met with police blockades once again.

Despite all the pressure and obstacles, the miners, who have continued their watch in Kurtuluş Park following their time in Soma, will complete the 50th day of their resistance today.

DEMAND FOR A MEETING WITH THE MINISTRY

The miners want to march to the Ministry of Energy on the 50th day of the resistance.

The miners held a press statement before the march. Speaking at the press conference, Independent Mine Workers Union Organizing Specialist Başaran Aksu stated that they want to meet with the ministry once more to ensure that no more deaths occur at Fernas Mining.

Aksu said that they are dedicating today's resistance to the 43 miners who lost their lives in the Amasra Mine Massacre.
