Yalçın Kardeşler Textile

Workers in the weaving and spinning departments of the Yalçın Kardeşler Carpet factory in the Başpınar Organized Industrial Zone in Antep, rejected the 34 percent raise given by the boss and went on wildcat strike on February 7, 2025.

The demands of the workers are as follows:

1- 80 percent increase in fixed fees (45 thousand TL per month for Halfe, 40 thousand TL per month for Telci)

2- 70 percent increase per scarf

3- Two half-wage bonuses on both holidays

In Antep, after the strike spread to many factories and the workers decided to take a joint action, the governorate banned the strike on February 13th. Following the threat of dismissal by the boss, some of the workers ended the strike while 60 workers continue the strike. There is no information in the press and social media about how the strike ended.
