Hopi activists have heard that a number of oil workers and employees at the Tehran Oil refinery havee been arrested – a clear sign that the regime fears a strike.
The oil workers’ militancy is in part due to their anger about Ahmadinejad’s silly attempts to artificially create a better price of oil per barrel (looking like double the world market price) by suggesting that 200-litre barrels should be used instead of 100-litre ones.
In other news, there has been a demonstration by Protest by Parris Rissandighi (textile) workers in Sanadaj in front of the government offices. They are demonstrating about the closures of plants and widespread job losses.
