A statement issued by the Autonomous Workers' Unions against the
usurpation of the right to a weekly holiday with the amendment to
Article 46 of the Labor Law ---- With the latest amendment to Article 46
of the Labor Law, one of our acquired rights, the right to a weekly
holiday, is being usurped at the request of employers under the guise of
"flexibility." According to this change, for employees of workplaces
with tourism business licenses, the weekly holiday can be used within
four days of the date of entitlement; work performed during the weekly
holiday will not be considered overtime.
While the AKP-MHP government continues to strip us of our rights one by
one for the interests of the employers, the unions and the opposition,
supposedly acting in the name of order, are content to watch the
proceedings. Despite the presence of union representatives on the
commission and the so-called "socialist" and "labor" parties in
Parliament, the fact that we only learned about this regulation after it
was passed demonstrates once again that we have nothing but our own
self-determination to rely on.
This regulation, which states that "with the worker's written consent,
the worker can use their weekly holiday within four days," grants
employers in the tourism sector the "flexibility" of working 10 days
straight. This regulation not only paves the way for the untimely,
slavish work and further exploitation of seasonal, often unregistered,
tourism workers; it also opens the door to a new threat for all of us,
regardless of our sector. In other words, this is an attack not only on
tourism workers, but on all workers. This regulation, which is making
employers salivate, is being tested on tourism workers. If we do not
react to this regulation and do not fight against it, it is a foregone
conclusion that this practice will be implemented in other sectors tomorrow.
We must discuss this regulation in the workplace today and explain it to
our colleagues. We must fight for the repeal of this regulation and take
action now to prevent it from spreading to other sectors. As employees
in the tourism sector, we must thoroughly understand the regulation and
act together against employers' pressure for approval and the
possibility of implementing the regulation as a 10-day uninterrupted
work schedule throughout the season.
We can repel this attack together!
