Peo throws support behind striking Turkish Cypriot Pepsi workers

Trade union Peo on Friday offered its support to the striking workers at Ektam, the north’s producer of Pepsi and other soft drinks, paying a visit to the picket line outside the factory as the strike enters its fourth week.

Peo secretary-general Sotiroula Charalambous said after her visit that “the fight at Ektam does not only concern specific workers, but touches the entire working class, as it is related to fundamental trade union rights and the protection of human dignity at work”.
