Maryam Rajavi’s Message on International Labor Day 2015

The mullahs’ president, Hassan Rouhani actively pursues the policy of workers’ victimization. He proposed a bill to the parliament to “remove obstacles of production”. Ratified last week by the Council of Guardians, the bill actually removes the obstacles of firing workers and has furthered the ground for imposing temporary contracts.
Astronomical expenditures to support the wars against the peoples of Syria, Iraq and Yemen as well as the expenses of its nuclear and missile projects are paid from the pocket of Iranian nation and toiling masses. Yet the mullahs refuse to cut down on these colossal expenditures.

The economic crisis in Iran is basically rooted in the deadly crises engulfing the clerical regime and can be resolved only by toppling their tyrannical rule.
Mrs. Rajavi called on the brave, courageous workers of Iran and said: On the International Labor Day, I call on you to expand your protests and step up your resistance for overthrowing the Velayat-e Faqih regime hand-in-hand with your fellow compatriots, specially students and teachers and in conjunction with the organized Resistance and inspired by the endurance of the pioneers in Camp Liberty.

The path to freedom, equality and justice passes through regime change in Iran which can be made possible in our own hands. Mrs. Rajavi called on her fellow countrymen and women to assist the families of imprisoned workers and not hesitate in providing the needs of families whose breadwinners have lost their jobs.

The protests of Iranian workers, the struggles of the nation as a whole, and the steadfastness of the organized resistance movement herald a new era where fundamental freedoms and rights are safeguarded for Iran’s workers where they enjoy the right to form syndicates and labor associations, to go on strike, stage protests, enjoy job security, health insurance and unemployment benefits, an Iran where men and women are equal, all discriminatory laws are abolished and child labor is banned.
