Call from Iranian Industrial Metal Workers to trade unionists and peace loving people throughout the world

 

 

Economic Sanctions are War against Iranian workers

 

What is happening on the world stage in relation to our country currently has nothing to do with improving the working conditions, resilience and fighting ability, and the welfare of Iranian workers, it is a total war against the Iranian population and workers. US imperialism is leading policies aimed at transforming the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East and Iran.

 

Trade Unionist Sisters and Brothers throughout the world

 

Beware that the policies of unilateral economic sanctions directed at Iran by great powers, particularly the US and its open and behind the scene allies, are the onset of an unequal war against Iranian workers and population. These sanctions cause factories to close, domestic production to collapse, unemployment to rise, prices of food stuff, medicine and other every day necessities to hike beyond the reaches of ordinary people of Iran. These sanctions are a golden opportunity for middle-men and greedy merchants to prosper at the expense of reducing the share on the tables of Iranian working families. The warmongers will only benefit from these tightening circumstances for the population, as through hoarding and increasing the prices of necessities. they accumulate easy and unprecedented wealth and beat harder on the drums of war.

 

 

American and European Sisters and Brothers

 

To avoid such catastrophe, we ask you to put pressure on your respective governments not to cooperate with and Join these destructive sanctions. Do not allow your taxes to be used against the workers and salaried population of Iran through industrial, pharmaceutical, and food sanctions. Demand from your parliamentary representatives to spend your taxes for the prosperity and welfare of your countries, and not to uproot and destroy the foundations of livelihood of Iranian working families.

 

We ask our metal worker sisters and brothers in countries where trade unions have a degree of influence over the government and parliament, to ask their respective governments and parliaments not to join these sanctions and support Iranian workers’ movement and Iranian working families against these anti-worker policies, wherever they come from.

 

Dear American and European Trade Unionist Comrades

 

Join arms with us in building an effective movement against the threat of economic sanctions and war, to stop the disasters in Syria, Iraq and Libya to befall on the people of Iran.
