900 miners who started a resistance against the privatization of the Çayırhan Thermal Power Plant have locked themselves in the mine.
Ankara Metropolitan Mayor Mansur Yavaş also came to Nallıhan to visit and support the laborers.
Yavaş shook hands with the workers participating in the protest one by one.
WHY IS THERE A STRIKE AT ÇAYIRHAN THERMAL POWER PLANT?
The resistance began at the call of the Mining Workers' Union of Turkey.
The laborers started the protest against losing their acquired rights, which followed many privatization decisions.
The privatization tender includes the evacuation of the lodgings where the laborers reside.
Furthermore, the laborers are considering going on a hunger strike at the end of the 3rd day.
