Renault's Turkish plant brought to a halt amid protests about employment conditions.

Workers protesting over employment conditions today brought production to a halt today at Renault's Turkish plant in the northwestern city of Bursa, Dogan news agency reported.
Thousands of employees at the plant, a joint venture with Turkey's army pension fund Oyak, refused to start the midnight shift, the agency reported, adding that about 400 vehicles are manufactured in a single shift.

A union official told Reuters that the action amounted to a protest but a strike had not been declared.
A spokesman for Oyak Renault, Turkey's market leader in car sales and exports, declined to provide detail on the production situation but said that a statement would be made later.

The factory builds the Clio and Symbol subcompact cars and Megane and Fluence compact models, according to Automotive News Europe's Guide to European Assembly Plants.
