The union stated that the workers never consented to joining the pro-government union. The opposition union has decided to refer the case to the competent judicial authorities.
The incident raises questions about union practices and the protection of workers' rights in Turkey's healthcare sector.
The Young Health Union has accused the government-aligned Salaş-Sen union of registering approximately 100 health workers in Adana with forged signatures without their knowledge or consent. The opposition union has referred the case to the competent judicial authorities for investigation.
If the allegations are proven, the affected workers could lose the union rights they held in their original union, affecting their representation and protection of their interests in collective bargaining and wages. The case reflects a struggle for union control in the health sector that could leave sector workers without effective protection of their rights.
