Zühal Arabacı, Vice President of the TÜM-MUHTAR-SEN union and Headman of Altıevler Neighborhood, delivered a message at a union congress held in Şanlıurfa. Representing İzmir and the Aegean Region, Arabacı emphasized the importance of organized struggle to ensure that the labor, responsibilities, and rights of neighborhood headmen (muhtars) receive the value they deserve.
