Turquía - More workers forced to change union affiliation (2011)

In March, in Eleşkirt hospital in Ağrı, workers affiliated to KESK-affiliated Health and Social Service Workers’ Union (SES) were visited by a delegation of Saglık-Sen, a union which is friendly to the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). They were threatened and forced to resign from SES, and promised better contracts if they would join Saglik-Sen, which around 30 of them eventually did.
