Being a trade union activist in modern day Britain can be pretty tough at times.But when you compare what is happening to trade unionists in countries such as Iran, where they are routinely jailed and flogged, by a state that also openly murders opponents, then frankly we have to step back a little and think about how we can support and show solidarity with those who face a noose around their neck rather than a final written warning.
It doesn’t help that people who should know better are paid apologists for the Iranian religious dictatorship and their wanton killing of demonstrators and the public executions of children.
Check out Kargaran and do as much as we can for trade unionists in Iran as we do for those in peril in other countries.
