For the first time in our country's history, contractors are going on strike, and a large number of people complain about not being able to find a rental house despite the rent increases of up to one hundred percent.
CONSTRUCTION STOPPED!
The contractors, who held a press release under the leadership of the Confederation of Construction Contractors last week, demanded the government's intervention regarding the exorbitant prices of cement prices. The contractors, who stated that they would stop work in the constructions if the government does not take steps on the subject, announced the boycott decision for all constructions except the ones that had to be completed yesterday and left their work. With the boycott that will last for 15 days, not a single nail will be hammered in the constructions.
The contractors, who held a press release under the leadership of the Construction Contractors Confederation (IMKON) last week, demanded the government's intervention regarding the exorbitant prices of cement prices. The contractors, who stated that they would stop work in the constructions if the government does not take steps on the subject, announced the boycott decision for all constructions except the ones that had to be completed yesterday and left their work.
NO OTHER OPTIONS
İMKON, which has issued a written statement regarding the work stoppage that started yesterday and will last for 15 days, emphasized that they were deaf to their calls, "The exorbitant price increases faced by the construction industry; We have conveyed this information to our Minister of Commerce and other relevant ministers, unfortunately, we could not get a positive result reflected in the prices. Cement industry responded to the struggle we put up for the cement industry to withdraw exorbitant price hikes with a new price hike, and Turkey did not leave any option to the construction industry other than 'stop work and boycott'," it was stated.
"IF PRICES ARE NOT REDUCED, WE WILL EXTEND THE PERIOD OF BOYCOTS"
It was also noted in the statement that if no steps are taken regarding the prices, the boycott will be extended.
"Calling all authorities here! The Turkish construction industry is the driving locomotive of the Turkish economy, you have not given enough attention to our rightful call until now, until the rightful demands of the Turkish construction industry are met, our 'boycott' decision will continue under democratic conditions until we get results," it was added.
The tea producer was once again condemned to be crushed at the hands of the private sector. Tea producers, who were delighted with the good news they received from President Erdogan, learned that the explanations were in vain in the first harvest.
The purchase price of fresh tea, announced by President Erdoğan as 3 liras, 87 kurus plus support and 4 liras, forced the producer to the private sector with the quota of ÇAYKUR applied per acre. Wet tea, which was purchased at 2,4 and 2,5 prices, which is half the price in the private sector, again aggrieved the producer. Ahmet Muratoğlu, the district head of Trabzon Of, which is the heart of tea production, made important statements.
Muratoğlu stated that the statements made by ÇAYKUR in the name of eyewash have no effect on the producer.
"The statements made by ÇAYKUR on behalf of the producer, who raised his voice against the quota problem that started in the first bar this year, look like the inflation of the country's economy on paper. While the economy of the citizens is in a difficult situation, the mentality of those who show that our country is at the top of the world rankings with numbers is the same as the mentality of ÇAYKUR. ÇAYKUR General Manager, who said that about 204 thousand families in Artvin, Rize, Trabzon and Giresun are engaged in fresh tea cultivation, also stated that they will make the highest fresh tea purchase in its history this year. Looking at the words, we do not see any problems. But when we look at the producer, we see that he cannot give his tea as he wants, he can give 400 kg of tea per acre, and this is sometimes reduced at a daily rate," he said.
“MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED”
"In our region, there are 47 factories affiliated to ÇAYKUR General Directorate and 194 factories belonging to private companies and tea buying places. We have more than 204 thousand tea producers in our region. The total agricultural area is around 835 thousand decares. There are approximately 1 million citizens who make a living from this sector. Unfortunately, ÇAYKUR is gradually losing its weight in tea production, which is of interest to such a large audience. This situation benefits the private sector and the producer is victimized by the low tea purchase price," he added.
