Iran: Kiyan-tire factory workers still on strike PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 16 August 2008

kiyan-tire150NCRI – After a month of new round of strikes by the Kiyan-tire factory workers the mullahs' hand picked management refuses to give in to their demands of paying what the company owes them in salary and benefits.

The protesters again gathered on the factory grounds burning used tires to get the attention of commuters on Tehran-Saveh highway on Friday.

Nearly 1,200 workers walked out on April 12 for the first time when the hand picked management called in the suppressive State Security Force (SSF) – mullahs' suppressive police – to crush their demonstration. A number of the workers were arrested in that incident.

The mullahs' inhuman regime, fearing the spread of the move, rushed hundreds of the State Security Forces (SSF) – mullahs' suppressive police -- agents to the scene to suppress the strikers. However, the local residents and youths clashed with the SSF units in support of the striking workers. They threw stones and sticks at the security forces.
