Iran - January 12 2022

The stream of workers struggles keeps shaking Iran in every province A strike of the oil workers of a company in Qeshm terminal has started, demanding the payment of their wages who haven’t been paid for 3 months. Qeshm, located north of Ormuz, is an area where there is one of the largest oil reserves of Iran. In there, the Ayatollah together with imperialism are making business deals and stealing the black gold, while they throw to the masses the crisis by not paying wages and an increasing cost of living. The strike of the oil workers in Qeshm joins the struggle of the construction workers in Shafarood Dam in Gilan for the payment of their arrears, the bus drivers in Tehran yesterday marched for a wage increase, same as the petrochemical workers in Maroon who entered their second day of strike, plus other sectors of the Iranian working class which are fighting for the same demands. A stream of workers struggles flows through every province of Iran, for the most needed demands of the masses. In their struggle, they confront the multimillionaire who live as kings while they make the people live as beggars. There is money! It is being stolen by the Ayatollah and their partners! Immediate payment of wages! Wages at the level of the family basket! EXPROPRIATION WITHOUT COMPENSATION AND PLACE UNDER WORKERS CONTROL OF THE HYDROCARBONS, METAL INDUSTRY AND EVERY COMPANY THAT DOES NOT PAY WAGES! DOWN WITH THE REGIME OF THE IRANIAN THEOCRACY AND THE GOVERNMENT OF HUNGER AND REPRESSION TO THE PEOPLE! FOR STRIKE COMMITTEES AND SELF-DEFENSE PICKET LINES TO DEFEND FROM THE COUNTERREVOLUTIONARY ISLAMIC GUARD AND ITS BASIJ, THE POLICE AND OTHER REPRESSIVE FORCES!
