Iran Uprising- No. 235
This brave strike and demonstration takes place while the regime’s leaders, by threats and incentives and giving deceptive promises, seek to push the workers to break their strike. However, the workers stressed that they would continue their protests until they achieve all their goals, including returning the company to the main body of the government, establishing all production lines, supplying the necessary equipment and parts, solving the workers’ insurance problem, and paying regular and timely salaries of the workers.
The Haft Tapeh Sugarcane workers also resumed their protest on Sunday morning. They protest the regime’s hollow promise to release detained representatives of the workers, and said they would not tolerate so many false promises.
At the same time, angry drivers of the South Drilling Company on the outskirts of the city of Ahvaz went on strike in protest against not paying their salaries and their poor livelihood. They blocked the Ahvaz road at the airport’s T junction.
