After declining an invitation to collective bargaining earlier this month, Turkish Airlines agreed to talks when union members voted in favour of strike actions. Trade union Hava-İş, of which 14,000 of the airline’s 15,800 workers are members, called on Turkish Airlines to resolve their disagreements through collective negotiations. One of the outstanding issues is the union’s demand to undo the dismissal of 305 workers who participated in a strike in May 2012, as reported in this newsletter.
