6 activists from the Turkish Security Workers union have been dismissed for taking part in trade union activities last week.

The 6 workers are activists in the union Guvenlik-Is, an affiliate of Turk-Is and UNI. They are based in Antalya and have been dismissed by their employer over allegations of extortion and poor perfoemance. They have between 6 and 9 years length of services and have been heavily involved in the last few years in successfully building a union in the security sector. 

The workers have the full support of their union and are fighting the dismiossals in court whilst the union decides on a campaign to further their case.

Trade unions are under attack in Turkey and the recent re election of Erdogan as President means that there will be no change in the anti union atmosphere.
