Petrol-Labour Union decided for a strike following the lack of consensus in the mass contract negotiations at Soda Industry Inc. in Mersin. The strike in the factory with 530 employees was banned with a Council of Ministers Decision. Thus, the number of banned strikes since 2002 (the year Justice and Development Party (AKP) came into power) reached 15. Seven of such strikes were banned during the State of Emergency period. In a speech he gave last year, President Erdoğan said, “We use the State of Emergency to intervene areas where there is a threat of strike.”
