In a year when thousands of Iranian workers have been laboring for months without pay, and thousands more have been laid off of their jobs, when huge swaths of the Iranian working class are clinging to life under the poverty line, when child laborers are consigned to selling flowers by the roadside or digging through scrapyards to eke out a living, we at Mission Free Iran call for international solidarity with Iranian working women and men, and their struggle for a better humane Iran.
