The only source for the news about this strike up till now are emails and forwards from Western activists. I can't find anything about it here:
http://www.iwsn.org/index.htm
which is usually the best source on Iranian labor activism.
Can u please provide more info?
Regards.
I will try and confirm this over the next few days.... At the moment everything is running on rumour.
The source quoted has a link to what I assume is an Iranian site
Meanwhile, the IWSN site has a report from a few weeks back about a victorious economic strike at the Iran Khodro plant ( ) which could be an example of what Rosa Luxemburg was saying more than 100 years ago, of how economic and political struggles can reinforce eachother.
In any case, it's something to watch.
