İnşaat-İş trade unionists did not recognize 'house arrest' decision

The executives of the Construction Workers Union, who were taken into custody and released on house arrest for performing their duties as unionists, rejected the unlawful practice and got together with the workers.

The executives of the Construction Workers Union (İnşaat-İş), who were taken into custody and released on house arrest for protesting against the usurpation of the rights of the workers employed in the construction of the 'Yuvam Bahçeşehir' project (built in partnership with AKP's Başakşehir Municipality, Akar Group and Reis Elektrik) did not recognize the decision, saying it was "unlawful".

Trade unionists Yunus Özgür and Deniz Gider went to the Limak Financial Center Construction Site where they continued their organizing activities. The two were welcomed with applause by the workers.

In addition to Dev Yapı-İş, affiliated with DİSK, many other unions such as Limter-İş, TOMİS, United Labor Movement, Dev Tekstil-İş supported the union executives who marched to the construction site accompanied by slogans together with the workers.

The trade unionists continued their organizing activities by distributing leaflets and reached an agreement as a result of their meeting with the boss regarding the usurped rights of the workers.
