ITF Statement in Solidarity with Truck Drivers in Iran


(International Transport Workers' Federation) Truckers in Iran are taking mass action over low wages and rising expenses, as well as for workers' rights and road safety. Their action has been strongly supported by the ITF's road transport affiliate the Syndicate of Workers of Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company, also known as the Vahed Syndicate. The strike first affected the Qazvin, Lorestan, East Azerbaijan and Mazandaran areas and has now been reported to have spread to all provinces and more than 250 cities.
