The proposal of the management of the Turkish Airlines (THY) guaranteeing no collective redundancy in 2017 in return of no increases in wages is accepted. The workers were obligated to say ‘yes’ to the poll of the THY direction and the Turkish Civil Aviation Union (Hava-İş).

10 thousand 446 workers said ‘yes’ to the poll organized by the Hava-İş, while 464 did not accept the proposal of the management of the company.

THY had declared a huge loss for 2016 and stated that 2017 does not look so bright for the company right from the beginning. The workers will pay for the crisis of the company.
