For more than a year, the Turkey Motor Vehicle and Transport Workers' Union, Tumtis has been organising workers in DHL Turkey. So far, over the last year, 24 workers have been dismissed, seemingly for attempting to organise a union. Sacked workers are currently standing outside the warehouses in an act of resistance over their alleged unfair dismissal.



Tumtis has made every attempt to engage local management and seek a resolution to the ongoing dismissals, but to no avail. Local management continue to engage workers who have joined Tumtis, reportedly telling them that they must resign from Tumtis or they will lose their job. The workers demand the right to become members of Tumtis, and organise a union in their workplace, free from intimidation and threat of dismissal.
