UNI affiliate Tez-Koop-Is has submitted a request for majority recognition at Tesco Kipa to the ministry of Labour.



The union has put in a tremendous organising effort and has organised almost 4,000 out of the 7,500 workers. The union is now waiting for the authorities to publish their decision.



This is the culmination of many years of work on the part of Tez-Koop-Is. It would appear that Tesco is at a fork in the road in terms of which way to go now that it's faced with the recognition claim.



The union insists that they want a common sense dialogue with Tesco Kipa and they are eager to meet with the company to explore how to build a constructive relationship.



In support of workers at Tesco Kipa in Turkey, members of the UNI Tesco Global Union Alliance have been sending letters to Tesco Kipa demanding that Tesco begins a dialogue with Tez-Koop-Is. Copies of these supportive letters are in the Related Files section.
