When garment workers at the Dutch and Turkish-owned Metraco factory in Istanbul began to organize in February 2006, management responded with an anti-union campaign that is still underway. Your help is needed to pressure Metraco’s owners to reinstate workers unjustly dismissed for their organizing efforts, stop the anti-union campaign, and to recognize and negotiate with the Disk-Tekstil union about the problems in this workplace, which produces for a range of European brands.
