Turkish pharmaceutical workers continue to battle union busting

As previously reported, workers are under a lot of pressure in Turkey with workers at the pharmaceutical manufacturer Deva Holding facing continual dismissals for being union members. There are now 24 workers who have been sacked. There is an international campaign supporting the rights of these workers. A new report has confirmed initial suspicions that the Soma mine disaster where 301 workers were killed was due to inadequate safety systems and that the explosion was due to gross negligence on the part of the company.
