Özet:

The unions established with the aim of protecting and developing the common economic and social rights and interests of workers and employers have been born as male sovereign and have continued this sovereignty until today. The Law on Workers and Employers and Trade Unions (Law No. 5018 on Workers and Employers and Trade Unions) was established in Turkey in 1947. It is known that women in the working life have a very low percentage of union membership and that they are not enough to disappear in the mandatory bodies of the trade unions. The study, which was conducted in order to investigate the problems that women encounter in actively engaging in trade unions, was primarily scaned literature. In this study, the data of the CBS and TIC were used. According to the study, the primary problem of women is that the level of union membership is low. The main reason why women’s trade union membership are at low levels is that half of women in employment are unregistered. Most of the women with a low level of education work in the field where trade unions are almost impossible, in the service sector in the unqualified, unemployed small workplaces. Problems include the incapacity of women to spend time on trade union activities due to their responsibilities towards their homes and families, the lack of knowledge about trade union and trade union rights, gender discrimination and the limitations created by a parent society and the lack of confidence in women.
