Strike call in Turkey as mine toll rises to 274
Soma - Turkey's biggest union has called for a massive strike on Thursday amid mounting anger over the country's worst mining accident, which claimed at least 274 lives with many more still trapped underground.
"Those who keep up with privatisation... policies, who threaten workers' lives to reduce costs... are the culprits of the Soma massacre and they must be held accountable," Turkey's Public Workers Unions Confederation (KESK), which represents 240 000 employees, said on its website.
