In a similar move last week, one thousand workers in this factory walked out on strike. With placards in their hands, they were demanding their unpaid salaries. The deprived workers at Kiyan Tire have not been paid since last fall.
The mullahs' inhuman regime, fearing the spread of the move, rushed hundreds of the State Security Forces (SSF) — 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.
The Iranian Resistance calls on all labor organizations and unions, in particular, the International Labor Organization (ILO) to condemn anti-labor policies of the Iranian regime and to support workers' just demands.
