We have had a strike of transportation workers in New York a few days ago. It was quickly put down by the government.
I hope your workers fare better than ours did.
hi
Thnx for your attention to iranian workers
they will strike on sunday in reaction to arresting their leader aslanlou. his location is not known till now after arresting by the police . HOPE VICTORY
NYC workers did stage an illegal strike and they got away with it but in Iran poor workers have no rights.
Please do not compare Tehrani workers to NYC transit workers. It is not fair
