WORKER-UNION 02. 06. 2026 17:44 Reaction from Tez-Koop-İş to the worker layoffs at CHP Headquarters: A concrete example of hostility towards labor Tez-Koop-İş stated in its announcement regarding the worker layoffs at CHP Headquarters, which also involved its own members, "The first act of the trustee administration is a concrete example of hostility towards labor by attacking the constitutional right to work." Photo: ANKA Duygu Ayber Gültekin [email protected] The General Executive Board of Tez-Koop-İş Union reacted to the termination of employment contracts of many people working at the CHP Headquarters, including union members, by the "trustee administration." The statement emphasized that the practice is hostility towards labor. The statement highlighted that the employment contracts of many workers at CHP Headquarters, including members of our union Tez-Koop-İş, were terminated by the trustee administration appointed without legal basis, and it was learned with great anger; "We emphasize that the first act of the trustee administration appointed by an absolute nullity decision, attacking the constitutional right to work, is a concrete example of hostility towards labor." "It is a clear violation of the most fundamental legal principles" The statement pointed out that in democratic legal states, the continuity of institutions is under the guarantee of law; "The workers of an institution are the memory of that institution. It is a clear violation of the most fundamental legal principles for a temporary administration, whose legal status is not yet finalized and appointed 'provisionally,' to intervene in long-established, unionized, and secure employment processes as its first act; to try to erase the institutional memory and to engage in worker layoffs. It is unacceptable that the cost of legal uncertainty in the current chaotic environment is imposed on the workers. This attitude also conflicts with the labor policies that CHP has defended and promised until now." "This decision that takes away the worker's right to defense is a clear usurpation of rights" The statement underlined that these unfair dismissals show that the temporary administration does not recognize international labor standards, Labor Law No. 4857, and the collective labor agreement in force to which the union is a party at the workplace; "Our union will never accept that the cost of political or administrative processes developing outside the will of the workers is imposed on the workers. The collective labor agreement covering our members working at CHP Headquarters and affiliated workplaces stipulates the objective criteria and Disciplinary Board mechanisms for dismissal processes. This decision, which ignores the law and collective agreement provisions and does not operate the disciplinary process, taking away the worker's right to defense, is a clear usurpation of rights." "Not only the workers were 'not punished,' but their families were also condemned to hunger and uncertainty" The statement emphasized that members were dismissed with slander and defamation on the grounds of Code 48 (the worker not attending work for two consecutive workdays without permission from the employer or without a valid reason, or not attending work on the first workday after any holiday twice in a month, or not attending work for three workdays in a month); "Stigmatizing workers with a severe article like Code 48 means depriving them of their most fundamental rights; for example, severance pay, notice pay, and unemployment benefits. With this move, not only were the workers 'not punished,' but their families were also condemned to hunger and uncertainty." "We will stand against attacks on labor" The statement emphasized that in a democratic legal state, no administration is above laws and collective labor agreements concluded within the legal framework; "We respectfully announce to the public that we will defend the rights of our members who were unfairly and unlawfully dismissed to the fullest extent, and that we will stand against attacks on labor both legally and in the streets."
