Weeks after being recognised as the plant’s official union, Basin-Is reached a collective agreement that will cover all 200 workers at the Amcor Tobacco Packaging Izmir plant. The union fought for recognition for over three years, overcoming both legal and business obstacles. After receiving recognition, the union and management quickly agreed on a collective agreement that includes an additional social premium, increase of wages and financial benefits, paid annual leave, health and safety and participation in decision making.
