Gama accused of threatening workers

MULTI-NATIONAL construction firm Gama was yesterday accused of issuing workers with a “sinister and spurious” letter hinting that legal action may be taken against protesting employees to recover lost revenues.

The letter, issued to more than 200 protesting workers who agreed to return to Turkey in recent weeks, states that Gama’s reputation and financial resources have been damaged by their continuing protest.

The document, signed by four senior Gama managers, goes on to say: “Because you voluntarily stopped this illegal protest and decided to go back to Turkey, our company declares and accepts that when you return to Turkey, you will not be sued for financial loss and there will be no criminal complaint against you.”
