14 Feb 2007 Sign the petition to support Tehran bus workers
The ITF is asking you to sign the online petition in support of the Tehran bus workers, and urge the resolution of key issues in their ongoing struggles for basic trade union rights.
Sign the Petition to support workers of Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company
Members of the Syndicate of Workers of Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company at their Executive Board Meeting on 26 December 2006.
15 February marks the anniversary of the highly successful worldwide protest in 2006, demanding the release of Mansour Osanloo, President of the ITF-affiliated Syndicate of Workers of Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company (Sandikaye Kargarane Sherkate Vahed).
He was finally freed on 19 December but there are some key issues that remain unresolved in the union. We are therefore starting an international petition. Please click and visit our site and join the action.

We are renewing our efforts to advance these issues by asking you to sign our petition. We have chosen this day, 15 February, to commence this exercise as it is a day to mark the anniversary of the highly successful worldwide protest in more than 20 countries, which the ITF and the ITUC organised last year to demand the release of Mansour Osanloo.

We thank you in advance for your support towards this campaign. We are also very happy to inform you that the Farsi version of the ITF publication, “Workers Rights Are Human Rights” is now ready electronically. We sincerely hope that this booklet will become a tool to progress workers’ rights in Iran and elsewhere.
