Background
The Aegean lignite coal mines are operated by Ege Linyitleri İşletmesi Müdürlüğü (Aegean Lignite Operations Directorate) or ELI.[1]
In the Soma region, coal mining started in 1913 by private entrepreneurs. Coal mines in Soma were nationalized in 1938, and were operated by the state-owned Etibank. Mine operations were transferred to TKI in 1957. In 1978, ELI was founded under TKI to operate the mines in Soma. [3]
As of March 2021, the ELI had 1459 employees, out of which 1193 were recorded as laborers(işçi), and 266 as office workers(memur).[4]
