ANKARA (AA) - Mustafa Basoglu, chairman of Labor Union of Health Workers, criticized International Monetary Fund (IMF) First Managing Director Anne Krueger by saying, ''IMF revealed that it despises labor through statements of its first managing director.''
A group of members of the Labor Union of Health Workers laid a black wreath in front of the IMF's office in Ankara today (Tuesday).
Speaking on behalf of the group, Basoglu said, ''Krueger said that employers refrain from employing more workers due to high amount of minimum wage in Turkey. Her statement is totally baseless. IMF does not have any intention for development of Turkey. In fact, it is trying to cause a financial decline. Krueger speaks as if she is a lawyer of employers. IMF revealed that it despises labor through statements of its first managing director.''
