Workers dismissed following the July strike demanded reinstatement. In their statement, workers accused TEKSİF management of failing to meet their 25% wage increase demand and committing "strike breaking"; responses from the union and company are not included in the report.
Workers claimed that the TEKSİF management rejected their 25 percent wage increase demand, imposed a 13 percent raise, and divided their 7-month receivables into 3 installments. They stated that when they wanted to change unions, the employer threatened them with unemployment. During the protest, it was stated that the boss carried out a 'ruthless purge' and distributed individual rewards.
