Iranian truck drivers on strike
Iranian truck drivers are currently on a massive strike in over 100 cities in Iran, with the clerical regime violently crackdown on strikers in Sanandaj. Experts have called on the US government to support the truck drivers by paying attention to the strike and providing assistance, aiming to improve human rights and potentially cause regime changes from within. Truck drivers play a key role in maintaining the Iranian economy, and their strike began due to issues such as working conditions and high insurance costs.
Potential impact and support
Alireza Nader suggests that US support for truck drivers can strengthen Trump’s negotiating position in nuclear talks with Iran and potentially paralyze the regime. Many advocates believe that supporting workers and unions, similar to Reagan’s approach to communist Poland, can lead to significant changes in Iran. The demands of the truck drivers also include roadside assistance, fair distribution of loads, affordable spare parts, lower costs of freight intermediary services, and increased safety on Iranian highways.
Lisa Daftari emphasizes that the truck drivers’ strike represents broader dissatisfaction among Iranians seeking basic rights and dignity. History has shown that it is difficult to achieve fundamental demands under the current Iranian government. Organizations like AFL-CIO and Teamsters Union have already expressed support for detained activists for labor rights and Iranian truck drivers. The truck drivers’ strike reflects a broader movement within Iran for freedom and better living conditions, calling for international support for their struggle.
