Management of Ebru Textile in Sakarya has fired several trade union activists in last few months. Trade union Oz Iplik-IS has been trying to organise the plant, which produces textiles for inditex, mango and cortefield amongst others. Management has responded by firing activists. Union members are now calling on the international brands to suspend orders until collective bargaining rights are respected.
