Trade union Koop-İş has signed a new collective agreement with sportswear company Nike, winning major improvements in wages, bonuses and benefits for workers in the company’s stores.

The new two-year agreement, which runs from 1 October 2024 to 30 September 2026, will be applied retroactively, and comes after the first-ever collective agreement with Nike in the country expired last year.

Wage increases well above inflation, along with regular raises throughout the duration of the contract.
