Green Transfo

Following the failure to reach an agreement in the collective bargaining negotiations between the Birleşik Metal-İş union and Green Transfo, the strike, which was announced to start at the company's factory in the Çayırova district of Kocaeli, started as wildcat strike on December 25, 2024, despite being banned by Presidential Decree.

The strike decision was taken after the United Metal-İş union and the Turkish Metal Industrialists' Union (MESS) failed to reach an agreement in the collective labor agreement negotiations for the 2024-2026 period for Hitachi Energy, Grid Solutions, Schneider Electric and Arıtaş Cryogenic workplaces. In addition, it was announced that a strike would start on December 25 after the collective bargaining negotiations with Green Transfo, which is not covered by MESS, failed to reach an agreement. On December 14, 2024, Presidential Decree No. 9231 banned all of the strikes in question, but Birleşik Metal-İş announced that the ban would not be accepted and the strikes would continue.

On the date of the start of the strike at Green Transfo, strikes at Grid Solutions, Schneider Electric and Arıtaş Cryogenic continued, while strikes at 4 factories of Hitachi Energy ended on December 23 with the agreement reached between Birleşik Metal-İş and MESS.

The strike at Green Transfo, which had been going on for 51 days, ended on February 13, 2025 with the agreement reached between Birleşik Metal-İş and the company. In the statement made by the union, it was stated that with the signed collective labor agreement, significant gains were achieved in the wages and social rights of the workers.
