Inside LabourStart

The following is the text of an email message we received this week from Turkey.

Through your e-mail, we have been informed that campaign of the CP Chicken Workers has been completed and closed.

First of all, I would like to thank you and LabourStart family standing in solidarity with us. Although it had started much late than we suppose, we had a great opportunity to strengthen our struggle through this campaign. As you know, we are maintaining the struggle in the Labour Court and keeps on organizing workers at the company. In this sense, the campaign has also encouraged the fired workers who are still waiting for the result of Labour Court. Furthermore, with this campaign, we had an opportunity to discuss the struggle of CP workers with IUF. Now, we are working on a new international campaign at CP Chicken Company as well as reassembling our organizing campaigning. I would like to say that all these new steps have been sparked by the LabourStart campaign.

Your support and your solidarity always encourage us and strengthen our working class struggle in Turkey.

In Solidarity.
Comradely greetings.
