The general strike in all sectors of economic life in the occupied territories has been decided for next Friday, April 1, by 14 unions of the wider "public" and private sector.
The joint statement signed by the president of the largest guild of "public" employees KTAMS, Guven Bengiham, states that the day after tomorrow, Wednesday, March 30, at 6 p.m., they will set up an "anti-increase" demonstration outside the "prime minister's" office and organize, with the support of civil society and the public, a pan-strike on April 1.
In the written statement of Mr. Bengihan said that the policy of increases continues while the "Prime Minister" has not responded to their demands and proposals to find resources to protect the purchasing power of the "people" and the "government" CCI-DC-CA is dragging wage earners, pensioners and low income earners into poverty.
The decision, he adds, to go on strike was taken at a joint meeting of the unions today and if the "government" continues its stance "we will continue by increasing our strikes and mobilisations".
The joint statement was signed by the guilds of "public" employees KTAMS and KAMUSEN, teachers KTÖS and KTOEÖS, workers in the broader "public sector", HAK-SEN, GÜÇ-SEN, KOOP-SEN, VERGİ-SEN, MEMUR-SEN, ADA-SEN, HÜR-İŞ the "municipal" employees BES, and the guilds of private sector workers TÜRK-SEN and DEV İŞ.
