An Iranian transit workers’ group called for unity among different factions against the government’s “crackdown and massacre” in a statement on Tuesday.
The Syndicate of Workers of Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company said protecting the lives and livelihoods of workers and their families must be the top priority in the current situation.
It said any major social or political change should begin with defending freedom, equality, living standards, human dignity and workers’ right to independent organization.
The syndicate urged labor, student and women’s organizations to take clear positions and coordinate together so that decades of social struggle are not undermined or exploited.
