Oil Sector Workers in Iran on Strike! 2nd Day. Calling for people to join them.
Gooya.com ^ | 3.17.2004 | Iranian Labor News Agency

Watchers of Iran have long waited for the Oil Sector Workers to go on strike. It could quickly cripple the regime.

It is being reported by the ILNA (Iranian Labor News Agency)that approximately 500 oil sector workers have blocked the road between Khoramshahr to Ahvaz. They are reportedly in the second day of their strike.

This stretch of road is reportedly a critical because it most oil products must pass through this area in order to reach other areas of Iran (it is near their oil complex). They are calling on local people to join them in their strike.

We will translate the report ASAP!

I thought that right wingers hated strikers...

So workers that go on strike are good people as far as you right wing slapheads are concerned?

Not his fault yet, but if there is oil mentioned you can bet he has asked the services to get the pilots and jets on alert.

Iranian revolt in progress, spreading
Project: FREE IRAN ^

As the youth jumped over the bonfires the traditional ancient rhymes were replaced with anti-government ones. "toop, tank, feshfesheh Akhoond bayad koshteh sheh" " Cannons, Tanks and Firecrackers We must kill the Mullahs".

In the Haft-Howz, Falakeh Dovvom and Nirooye Havaii, districts of Tehran more than 10,000 people had gathered. Some women openly removed their scarves encouraging others to do so too. In Mohseni Square, the youth fought back the Law Enforcement Forces. At least 20 government forces were reported badly beaten up by the crowds. In Amir-Abad district the people joined the students and more anti-government slogans were shouted. Police patrol cars, which attempted to disperse the crowd, drove away from the scene as the people started throwing home made grenades at them. In Aryashahr, the crowd were throwing pictures of Supreme Leader, Khamenei and Islamic Republic flags on to the bonfires.
