In response to the economic crisis in Turkey, food delivery company, Yemeksepeti Banabi, announced a 10% raise in salary, which sparked outrage, and its delivery workers of Yemeksepeti Banabi are striking for higher wages. They are also demanding to change the business model, in which they are considered self-employed and don’t have social security. A majority union, The All Shipping Workers Union, has been formed, but the company is preventing unionization rights from being implemented through legal loopholes. In similar Turkish companies like Trendyol Express, Yurtiçi Cargo, Scotty, Aras Cargo, Sürat Cargo, and Migros Warehouse, delivery workers also protested the miniscule wage increase. Trendyol Express workers succeeded in a wage increase from 11% to 39%. The head of the Transportation Workers Union expressed solidarity and support.
