After negotiations over a collective agreement broke down, workers at AMCOR Flexibles Istanbul went on strike on 3 July 2013. The source of the dispute was a wage offer by AMCOR, which fell behind the inflation rate. AMCOR also refused to negotiate over decreasing the pay inequality inside the company. Two days after the start of the strike, management and unions agreed to a wage increase of at least the inflation rate.
