About this event

(Zoom event)

By Mehmet Bayram

The role of fundamentalism in Turkey and the Middle East has led to major attacks on the trade unions and working class. This presentation will look at the rise of Erdogan and his role in privatizing public resources and using privatization to enrich himself and his family while attacking union and worker rights including jailing and killing journalists.
