This week, the draft law passed the Assembly Public Works, Reconstruction, Transport and Tourism Commission and was put on the agenda to be discussed at the General Assembly of the Assembly. The primary objective of this draft law is to commercialize the railway service by making it not a public service. The second objective is the liquidation and privatization of the public sphere. And finally, the indispensable part of neo-liberal understanding will open the way for subcontracting, ie the use of cheap and precarious labor. We are on strike for 24 hours on the railways all over Turkey. We want the draft law to be withdrawn.
