@Sanaz@eldritch.cafeThe strikes and protests of the steel workers in Ahvaz-Iran continue: For the second day in a row, the workers returned to the streets of the city after 5 years of repression, chanting radical slogans for their rights. In recent months, the workers in this sector of the Iranian steel industry have carried out very important events. First of all, I would like to give a brief general explanation about Ahvaz and the workers in this sector.Ahvaz is one of the most economically and politically important cities in Iran. The existence of two ethnic minorities, the Arabs and the Loris, who are both politically, socially and economically marginalised in Iran and have always been oppressed in all aspects of life, has given this city a special political position, especially in the labour struggles. In the last ten years, the steel workers of Ahvaz have managed to achieve important changes in the process of labour protests in Iran through the special tactics of the working class. Therefore, the protests of the Ahvaz steel workers have an important place among the Iranian workers and political activists. Their campaign tactics include the formation of committees, the convening of a workers' congress attended by 250 workers and the election of a spokesperson.In the last three months, these workers have once again decided to stand up to the status quo. In recent years, the Ahvaz steel workers have repeatedly faced pressure from the security forces and government tactics to crush the movement. Today, the steel workers have launched strikes and demonstrations against economic corruption, low wages and many undisclosed targets in the company. In 2018 they carried out the biggest strikes and demonstrations in Iran. They closed all the doors of the company for 38 days and did not allow the workers (white collars) to enter. The workers demonstrated in the city of Ahvaz and organised a march for several hours against the existing situation. The doors of the company were closed and the workers were not allowed to enter the building. The workers demonstrated in the city of Ahvaz and organised a march for several hours against the existing situation.Over the past two months, they first gathered in front of the manager's office, then went on strike for several hours, and a week later went on strike for eight days, finally forcing the manager's employees out of the company and occupying it for a week. At the moment there are daily strikes and demonstrations in the streets of Ahvaz. On the first day, they gathered in front of the central branch of the National Bank (Bank-e Melli) in Ahvaz, preventing people from entering and leaving the bank. (The National Bank owns a few percent of the company's shares). The trigger for these protests in recent months was the blockade of the entrance to the factory by a number of workers. After the management (the employer) fired one of the leading workers, Karim Siyahi, the workers threw the factory manager out of the factory and occupied the factory for eight days until their colleagues returned to work. [The Ahvaz Steel Plant is one of the most important companies in Iran producing rebar, beams, seamless pipes and ultra-light beams]. <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Iran" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Iran</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Ahvaz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ahvaz</a>
