Working people should not carry the burden while wealth concentrates at the top.
The ITUC stands in solidarity with DISK and its fight for economic justice and fair taxation in Türkiye.
“Workers in Türkiye are struggling to make ends meet not because the country lacks resources, but because income, wealth and the tax burden are being distributed in an increasingly unjust manner.” 🗣️ DİSK General President Arzu Çerkezoğlu

📢 JUST LAUNCHED: The 2026 ITUC Global Rights Index
🗣️“The 2026 Global Rights Index shows that the crisis for workers’ rights is no longer confined to the margins - it is now at the heart of democracies. Governments are failing to protect working people, and in many cases are actively undermining them.” @luc_triangle ITUC General Secretary
