Attack on Public Bus Driver Again! / News / Statement / Action

October 10, 2021 Our friend Yasin, the Istanbul Public Bus driver, was stabbed and injured while waiting for departure time in Bakırköy. We Call on the Authorities to Act! STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST DRIVERS! Attacks on public transportation drivers behind the wheel have increased like never before. It has become commonplace for angry people, for whatever reason, to direct their anger at us drivers, behind the wheel or in rest areas. Not a day goes by without one of our colleagues being assaulted or injured. Our only strength in the face of our drivers' work environments, which are vulnerable to all kinds of attacks, is our unity. We invite all our colleagues and friends to wear black ribbons throughout the week to raise awareness of these attacks. Our strength comes from our unity! No colleague will ever be alone! We Demand Workplace Safety! We Don't Want to Die While Working!
