Many gathered in Taksim Square, the scene of last summer’s rallies, chanting for the government to resign.
The four main unions have called for a national strike on Thursday.
They say the explosion which left more than 270 dead was not an accident but a crime or a “work murder”.

Police fired tear gas and used water cannons to stop them from marching to the Energy Ministry.
