Large scale union busting practices at Roma Plastic, the Gebze plant of the subsidiary of Egger Group. Unions members offered bonuses to leave the union.
Trade unions report large scale union busting practices at Roma Plastic, the Gebze plant of the subsidiary of Austrian building materials manufacturer Egger Group. Management is reportedly offering unions members bonuses if they leave the union and 14 activists have been fired. The union busting activities only intensified after Lastik-Is union received the necessary certificate to represent the plant’s workers from the Ministry of Labour and Social Security. Asked by international and European trade union confederations to help, Egger Group headquarters in Austria responded it views the issue as a local problem.
