NCRI – Workers at Iran's major tire factory, Kiyan Tire, walked out again over their disputed pay cuts with the factory's management. They began their third day of strike threatening not to return to work unless the hand-picked management meets their demands, reported the state-run news agency ILNA on Friday.
On April 13, in a similar move, all of Kiyan tire's workers walk out over their unpaid salaries.
They burned used tires to block the highway between Tehran and Islamshahr, a western suburb of the capital, to draw commuters' attention traveling to Tehran. Striking workers have not been paid off in the past few months.
A week earlier, one thousand workers in this factory went on strike. With placards in their hands, they were demanding their unpaid salaries. The deprived workers at Kiyan Tire had not been paid since last fall.
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.
