In June the Turkish government suspended strike action by 5,800 glass workers from 10 factories of Turkey's largest glass manufacturer Sisecam, arguing that the strike posed a risk to “public health and national security”. The Turkish glass workers union Kristal-Is have now lodged a formal complaint against the Turkish government in the International Labour Organisation (ILO). In the meantime the workers continue their campaign, including marching on the company headquarters in Istanbul.
