Around 140 women working for Sera Pool in Istanbul that produces panels for swimming pools and showers, have been on a picket for over three weeks after the sacking of a fellow worker. The original dispute was around low pay, speed of work, heavy lifting and hazardous dust levels in high heat conditions. After the sacking, the rest of the workers occupied the workplace and demanded her reinstatement. Management then sacked the whole workforce. Click here for video of solidarity visit. The women are united in demanding their jobs back and for better working conditions. Messages of solidarity can be sent to disk@disk.org.tr.
