June 26 union solidarity with Iranian workers
In line with the recognition of the labour rights, we request that June 26 Action Day – Justice for Iranian workers – to include the human rights of all Iranians who have been deprived of their rights.
In recent days, we continue witnessing the magnificent demonstration of
millions of people from all ages, genders, and national and religious
minorities in Iran. They request that their basic human rights, particularly the right to freedom and to choose independently and without deception be recognized. These rights are not only constitutional in most of the countries, but also have been protected against all odds.
Amid such turmoil, one witnesses threats, arrests, murders and brutal
suppression that one fears only to escalate on all its aspects, resulting in
more innocent bloodshed, more protests, and certainly no retreats. The
Iranian society is facing a deep political-economical crisis. Million-strong
silent protests, ironically loud with un-spoken words, have turned into
iconic stature and are expanding from all sides. These protests demand
reaction from each and every responsible individual and institution.
As previously expressed in a statement published on-line in May of this
year, since Syndicate Vahed does not view any of the candidates support the
activities of the workers’ organizations in Iran, it would not endorse any
presidential candidate in the election. Vahed members nevertheless have the right to participate or not to participate in the elections and vote for
their individually selected candidate.
Moreover, the fact remains that demands of almost an absolute majority of
the Iranians go far beyond the demands of a particular group. In the past,
we have emphasized that until the freedom of choice and right to organize
are not recognized, talk of any social or particular right would be more of
a mockery than a reality.
The Syndicate of Workers of Tehran and Suburbs Vahed Bus Company fully
supports this movement of Iranian people to build a free and independent
civil society and condemns any violence and oppression.
