We're calling on the Swatch Group's global management to intervene as store workers in Türkiye are set to strike in a dispute over contract and pay.
"Our union has made every effort to achieve a fair agreement that protects the rights and welfare of all Swatch Group Türkiye employees," said Eyup Alemdar, president of @KOOPISSENDIKASI
"But the company's proposals were unfair, discriminatory and far below workers’ expectations. We are left with no choice but to strike."

🌎 Este Día Internacional de los Cuidados y el Apoyo, llamamos a gobiernos y empleadores a #ProtegerAlQueCuida y actuar para detener la violencia y el acoso en el trabajo de cuidado ✋🏻🚫, para que trabajadores/as puedan #CuidarSinMiedo.
Women and girls do 16 BILLION hours of unpaid care every day.
This imbalance is structural, not natural.
#ForAllWomenAndGirls, let’s stop calling care ‘women’s work.’
Let’s support it, share it, and pay for it.
