“Clearly, there are
major new writings
proposed for the
rules. For example,
the change in the
collection of dues will mean increased
affiliation fees for some affiliates,
including unions in Russia, Ukraine,
India and Brazil,” Marcello Malentacchi
explains.
Action programme revised
The Action Programme Committee
has assessed the current programme
and updated the text.
Participation of women
At the Congress, considerable emphasis
will be placed on the participation
of women in IMF structures. As mentioned
above, the Congress will consider
and vote on a proposed change
to the IMF rules to create seats for
women on the IMF Executive.
“I would urge all affiliates to give
careful consideration to the gender
composition of delegations to the Congress.
The IMF Executive Committee
has set a target of 20 per cent representation
of women at the Congress”,
says the IMF general secretary.
An IMF Women’s Conference will
be held on May 21, prior to the start
of Congress (see article on previous
page). JN

T U R K E Y Turkey, the EU
and workers’ rights
At its Summit on December 17, 2004, the EU is set to
vote on opening accession talks with Turkey.
But in Turkey, workers and union representatives
give potential EU membership only a cautious
welcome. For Ali and Hakki, many changes are
needed before they can enjoy the same workers’
rights as experienced elsewhere in Europe.

Ali Gündüz, 37, is the head trade union representative
at a steel factory called Yücel Boru in Gebze, Turkey.
He first began working here ten years ago as
an operator on one of the plant’s 12 steel pipe-rolling
machines. Today, Ali’s time is divided between working on
the factory floor and representing the interests of union
members. Of the 320 strong workforce at the factory, 182
are unionised. Ali and his co-workers belong to IMF-affiliate
Birlesik Metal Isçileri Sendikasi (Birlesik).
Ali’s effusive and energetic approach to life is immediately
obvious. With a glint of laughter in his eye, his good
humour shines through, balanced by the occasional glimpse
of a quiet and watchful intensity. Ali takes a keen interest
in the world around him: at the plant, in his union, in his
country and beyond.
CROSSROADS
Gebze has been an important crossroads to Asia since
ancient times. It is an industrial town, located on the northeastern
shores of the Sea of Marmara in the City of Kocaeli,
and has a population of 500,000. It is bordered by Istanbul
to the west and is 60 kilometres from the Bosphorous. The
landscape consists of undulating, low-lying hills, now covered
with apartment buildings and dotted by minarets. Sitting
near the north Anatolian fault-line, this is earthquake
country. Gebze was one of the towns affected by the huge
earthquake that hit Izmit in 1999, killing 40,000 people and
causing enormous destruction of property.
Turkey’s main highway from Istanbul to Gebze was once
a strategic route connecting the industrial heartland of the
region to the sea on one side, and the capital, Ankara, on the
other. This road was also the site of a bloody battle for the
union movement. On June 15 – 16, 1970, close to the time
of the republic’s second military coup, workers barricaded
the road, protesting changes to legislation that would make
it near impossible for their union to exist. Three workers
were killed in clashes with police and soldiers.
Today the road is bustling with industry. Trucks barrel
up and down the highway. Each side is lined with signs for
VW, Audi, Renault, Opel, Hyundai and BMW vehicle outlets.
