150 workers of Philips made a demonstration in the Gebze Organized Industrial Zone where the company take place.
The Philips Group declared that they will close the company because Philips Turkey could not achieve an amount of 40 milions dollars production volume. This means 150 job cuts in Philips Turkey.
Birlesik Metal-Is made an action to show our resistance against the decision.
And Philips workers warned the Philips employer that they will continue to their actions untill the employer desist to close company.
You can find photos of our action in the link below:
