GAMA dispute - LRC is best place to solve dispute

THE dispute between the Turkish-based construction company GAMA and its workforce would be better dealt with in the Labour Relations Commission (LRC), than the workers believing they have to engage in a hunger strike to pursue their case.

Because they maintain that their grievances relating to under-payment and harassment have not been addressed, the Turkish workers are threatening to embark on this extreme measure to bring pressure to bear on the company.

Both sides have been called to appear before the LRC on Monday and, realistically, this is the most appropriate forum where those complaints can be adjudicated.
