The brave workers of Ahvaz Steel started their thirtieth-two day of strike on Tuesday December 11 with a rally in front of the governorate of the regime in Ahvaz. Many workers had white shrouds on which slogans such as “We stand, we die, we do not accept humiliation” was written. Workers were chanting: Lest we accept humiliation; neither threat, nor prison, they are no longer useful; student, worker, unity; imprisoned worker must be freed; imprisoned student must be freed; neither ruler nor the state, can overcome the worker; neither ruler, nor the state, think about the nation; inflation, high prices, respond Rouhani; our country is a thief house; it’s unique in the world; liar Rouhani, where is your claimed key to solve the problems? Our disgrace, our disgrace, our radio and TV.
At the same time, 1,500 seasonal and day-work workers of the Haft Tappeh Sugar Cane Complex gathered in front of the building’s administrative office to protest the uncertainty about their job status and false promises of the regime.
