"We stood up in every city and we won!" the workers said on Twitter.
Speaking to workers who gathered in front of the company's headquarters in Maslak, İstanbul, Ali Rıza Küçükosmanoğlu, the head of the Nakliyat-İş transport workers' union, said they will "continue to fight" if Trendyol branches offer workers lower salaries than the agreed amount and if protesting workers face mobbing by employers.
Releasing a statement earlier, Trendyol said, "Making an assessment on this rate alone leads to incomplete and misleading results. Trendyol is a company that puts the satisfaction of all its business partners before everything else. It will continue to be so in the future."
Biz direndik, bir olduk, güç olduk, biz kazandık!
