Istanbul employment lawyer providing legal support in union membership, collective bargaining negotiations, strike rights and collective agreement disputes under Turkish law.
A collective agreement is a contract between a workers' union and an employer or employers' union.
Every worker has the right to join a union, and this right is constitutionally guaranteed.
A collective labor agreement is signed under Law 6356 between a workers' union and an employer or employers' association and regulates wages, social benefits and working conditions. It applies directly to union members at the workplace; non-members can benefit only if they pay the solidarity contribution. The outcome depends on the specific evidence and the court's assessment; consult an attorney for your individual situation.
If a dispute arises, official mediation is mandatory first (Law 6356 art. 50). If no agreement is reached, the union may call a strike and the employer a lockout; the decision must be implemented within 60 days (art. 60). Interpretation disputes go to the labor court, while rights disputes follow mandatory mediation before litigation. The outcome depends on the specific evidence and the court's assessment; consult an attorney for your individual situation.
