I'm fighting to get what I got. We use our right of constitution, we have no other sanction power. Both TCDD and other institutions of the metropolitan area we are paid less. I'm sure that Izmir people will understand us when they compare. Everyone will put your hand on your conscience. The input and output of the institution is certain. We're not partners here. Forced to work under poverty and hunger is nothing to understand. We have nothing to lose. Bizim

We do not want a share of the cake, we just want the value of our labor. It feels inadequate and we try to make our voice heard. We solve this problem with strikes. The people of Izmir want not to be victims, but we are also victims. Everyone has a family, a child. May they also give us rights. Let them come and look at our payrolls.

In İZBAN, which is one of the main transportation arteries of the city and carries 400 thousand people a day, only a few subcontractor machinists go out at certain times of the day at long intervals.
