Thousands demonstrate against sub-contracting

Türkiye

Thousands of construction workers joined a demonstration in Ankara on 15 February in protest against sub-contracting and forced transfer of employees. Despite a court ruling dating from 2011 many workers who should be directly employed by the Directorate of Highways and covered by collective agreements have been subject to illegal sub-contracting without proper employment conditions. The protest was also over another group of workers who have faced redeployment to jobs inappropriate for their skills and training.
