• Memur-Sen (Memurlar Sendikaları Konfederasyonu): Memur-Sen is the largest public sector union confederation in Turkey, representing millions of civil servants across multiple ministries. It is directly comparable to Tarım-İş as both are Turkish public-sector worker organizations engaging in collective bargaining with government employers under similar legal frameworks.
• Hak-İş (Hak İşçi Sendikaları Konfederasyonu): Hak-İş is a major Turkish labor confederation representing workers across multiple sectors.
