Workers occupy Turkish coal plant’s entrance, block road to oppose privatization
A group of workers blocked a highway for over half an hour on Dec. 1, in protest at the imminent privatization of the YataÄan coal plant in the southwestern province of MuÄla, a day after they began occupying the entrance of the facility.
Despite opposition from workers, a local energy company won the operating rights for the plant after outbidding its rivals last June.
