Iran bus workers’ syndicate voices support for protests

The Syndicate of Workers of Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company on Wednesday expressed support for protests in Iran, citing what it described as repressive policies, economic pressure, corruption and widening class divides.

“While expressing support for the rightful protests of the oppressed people, the syndicate emphasizes that deprived people are fully entitled to take to the streets against the authorities’ repressive policies, the state’s all-out attack on public livelihoods, structural corruption, and deep class divides, to confront rising prices and runaway inflation," the statement said.

“The solution for workers and laborers is unity and organization,” it added.
