Explaining that they will not vote, Çakar said, “The laws in force do not describe it as such. Metropolitan Municipality Council does not have such a duty. The decision taken is against the law and labor regulations. Reduce this from the agenda of the assembly. We will not vote for the decision. Although it was seen in the laws that there were some flaws during the regulations and practices, this does not change only with the correspondence of the Ministry of Interior. If you change the law, it will be changed. It is a situation to be enforced by the ESHOT committee. By voting this, you stand before the law. Do not mix İZSU and ESHOT. There is a board of directors in the establishment of IZSU; ESHOT has a committee. If this road is opened by saying that İZSU applications are made, the decisions taken by the Metropolitan Municipality have an committee. ”
