Jump To Comment: 1No rational honest person should be in any doubt that the strike is taking place. This is Irans 1913. Are you going to be on the side of the Iranian bosses or thje Iranian Workers? Full text at link.
5000 workers are now on strike at the Haft Tapeh Sugar Company. The strike has entered its sixth day and all three shifts, as well as all parts of the factory and cane fields of the company, are solidly behind the strike. The workers had warned that they would step up strike action if their demands were not met by the management of the state-owned company.
On 10 May many workers protested in front of the Governor General's office in Shush . This protest lasted many hours and a growing numbers of workers kept joining it. After 6 days of strike action the workers have not had any response from management about what is going to happen to their unpaid wages. Neither the general manager, Yaghoob Shafiee, nor anyone from the management committee, nor Zibdari, the company's security chief, have come anywhere near the factory or fields.
