The 18th Term Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations, which have been ongoing since December 2024 between the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) transportation subsidiary Metro Istanbul and the TÜRK-İŞ-affiliated Demiryol-İş Union, have concluded with a consensus.
The strike decision, which had been set for May 27 following a deadlock in negotiations, was canceled due to a last-minute agreement.
