Turquía - Union busting continues at Hugo Boss

Hugo Boss fired Meryem Bicakci in March 2016 because she supported the Teksif trade union organising at her factory. It was another sacking in a long-running union-busting campaign by the luxury fashion label at its largest production facility in Izmir, Turkey. Management also increased pressure on two other leading union members, Fikri Mutlu and Murat Akgün. They had already seen other colleagues facing threats, intimidation and ultimately dismissal for their union activities.
