The resistance of İmbat Mining workers in Soma yielded results: All their receivables were deposited into their accounts.

Workers at İmbat Madencilik, operating in Manisa's Soma district, who were struggling for their unpaid salaries and receivables arising from the Collective Labor Agreement (TİS), gained success.

The Independent Mine Workers Union announced that as of midnight, all receivables of the workers, including their rights from the previous period, were deposited into their bank accounts.

"VICTORY TO THE RESISTANT IMBAT MINER!"

In the statement made on the union's social media account, "Victory belongs to the resisting İmbat miner!" statements were included.

In the statement, it was emphasized that the workers' retroactive receivables were also paid and that the union organization would continue at İmbat Madencilik.

Independent Maden-İş Chairman Gökay Çakır also addressed the workers and stated that the gain was achieved thanks to solidarity.

Çakır said, "This victory is not the victory of the union, but the victory of the workers, the victory of Soma, the victory of Soma tradesmen, the victory of workers-farmers."

THEY GAVE THEIR PROFITS TO 5 MINERS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES

The miners gifted the gains they gained as a result of the resistance to Ramazan İnce, Kerim Ören, Halit Ersay, İsa Olcay and Ömer Karakaya, who lost their lives in the collapse that occurred in İmbat Madencilik on October 1.

In the union's statement, it was said about the workers who lost their lives: "We know that if they were here, they would be the ones at the forefront resisting."

WHAT HAPPENED?

İmbat Mining workers started the protest after their salaries and accumulated labor receivables were not paid.

Miners who wanted to walk from Soma to Ankara were blocked by the gendarmerie at Çamlık location in Manisa's Kırkağaç district.

Following negotiations with the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, it was announced that the receivables would be paid, but some of the workers decided to continue the protest until their money was transferred to their accounts.

The ongoing resistance in front of Turkish Coal Enterprises (TKİ) under the leadership of Independent Maden-İş ended after the announcement that the payments were completed.
