ing bosses live in luxury villas, it is of no concern to them that the
          workers stay in the rain and the cold of winter in tents. It is of no
          concern to them whether they and their children are able to eat
          or drink. It is of no interest to them whether those children go to
          school, or the rent is paid…  If bailiffs have come to workers’
          houses, it is of no interest to them…


               IN A SYSTEM OF THEFT AND CORRUPTION, EVERY

          they were owed after Ramadan. A LIE! They do not think that
          workers might need to eat and drink during Ramadan.


               WORKERS – DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING SAID BY
          THESE THIEVES! The aim of the bosses is to deceive the work-
          ers, empty out the factory and leave nothing behind. Actually,
          while the bosses walk around freely, the AKP’s police and courts
          suddenly moved into action. When the workers wanted to sell off
          machines to settle debts, suddenly four busloads of police turned
