North Cyprus Air Traffic controllers to strike on Monday

The Air Traffic Controllers Union (HTKS) has announced plans to commence a general strike at 10 am and to gather in front of the Prime Ministry at 11am on Monday, in support of a protest organised by livestock breeders and public sector unions.

In their statement, the union criticised the UBP – YDP – DP government for attempting to remedy the consequences of its flawed policies with external solutions, while simultaneously benefiting green capital and its allies.

The union stated, “We no longer wish to see you in power“, and further added, “We reject an external solution for the UBP-DP-YDP problem imposed on us. We seek a government structure devoid of these anti-people parties, one that protects workers, producers, and the oppressed against capital and employers”. 

The statement emphasised, “For these reasons, we will support the social protest on Monday, May 27th, by starting an all-day strike at Ercan Air Traffic at 10 am and assembling in front of the Prime Ministry at 11am”.
