CALL FOR SOLIDARITY


Dear Sisters,

You may heard about the strike in Novamed in Turkey/Antalya. Novamed is
one of the factories of Fresenius Medical  Care located in Germany. All of
the workers who have gone for a strike are female workers. Because the
working conditions are very bad and the man-dominated (patriarchal). For
example: Female workers are required to apply for permission to marry.
Married women should get pregnant and give birth in accordance with the
schedule arranged by the management. They usually humiliated by the
managers since they are women. Attached you may find a detailed
information sheet prepared by the union, called Petrol-Is.

At the end of September, the strike will be 1 year old. A group of women
(Female workers and female union representatives,  feminists and women
from political parties) will organise a campaign for that in Istanbul. As
a last step of the campaign, there will be a visit to Antalya for
supporting our sisters on 27th September 2007. Therefore we would require
you to support our campaign. Your support is very valuable for us. You can
publish these news in your magazine or web page. Petrol-is has already
established international contact with European unions.

In solidarity,

Sevgi Göyçe
KESK Woman Secretary
