Çoruh AKSA

On February 9, 2025, 1600 workers at Kazancı Holding's Çoruh AKSA, which provides electricity supply services to the provinces of Trabzon, Rize, Giresun, Artvin and Gümüşhane, began a wildcat strike over the payment of 22,000 lira in January. The energy workers decided not to go to work at their locations in 5 provinces, except for hospitals and public institutions that are important for the safety of the public. While it is stated that the company dismissed 23 employees whose retirement expired within 1 month on the grounds of 'downsizing' and that the dismissal of 140 more workers is on the agenda, the workers demand that the dismissals be stopped and the monthly wage be 40 thousand TL. The strike ended on February 14 after workers' average wages were raised to 40,000 TL.
