Collective labor agreement negotiations concluded at Kardemir

According to Turkey's Dogan News Agency, the collective labor agreement negotiations going on since January at Turkish long steel producer Kardemir have been concluded. After a meeting with Kardemir, Çelik-İş Union's request for a 42 percent pay rise has been accepted and the agreement will be signed on Friday.
 
Last week, Cengiz Gül, head of Çelik-İş Union, announced that the union had decided to go on strike at Kardemir as of May 8, as collective labor agreement negotiations involving 3,000 workers remained unresolved.
