Confederation of Progressive Trade Unions of Turkey (DİSK) has documented the impacts of Covid-19 on its members in a report. While the production has been halted in 47 workplaces, over 51 thousand members have been directly affected by the outbreak.

“Women are usually employed at insecure and temporary positions. Women with higher education, on the other hand, meet with the invisible wall of workforce,” a report by DISK-AR said.

The Confederation of Progressive Trade Unions Research Institute released the "Report on Working Hours". Turkish workers work longer hours and do more extra hours than workers in other countries. At the same time, their right to paid leave is extremely restricted in international comparison.
