Polonez Food Factory workers, who have been resisting for months in Çatalca, Istanbul, gathered in front of the factory to take their resistance to Ankara. The workers, who have been on strike for 140 days at the factory where 354 people work, wanted to walk first to the Çatalca Courthouse and then to Ankara. Encountering a harsh police intervention, the workers were detained with their hands cuffed behind their backs.
Polonez workers had organized against poor working conditions, low wages, and overtime, and many workers were fired on the grounds that they were unionized.
THEY STARTED A HUNGER STRIKE
The wait of the workers, who are members of the Tek Gıda İş Union, continues under police blockade.
Tek Gıda İş Union Organizing Specialist Suat Karlıkaya stated in his explanation to 12punto, "This struggle is the struggle of everyone in Turkey who seeks their rights. We are starting a hunger strike until the barricade is lifted."
