To Mr. Guy Ryder Secretary-General of the World Labor
Organization
Greetings,
We congratulate you and all workers of
our country on International Labor Day, especially those working tirelessly and
risking their lives on a daily basis in electricity systems and installing
electricity and communications towers. These workers are separated from their
families for many months of the year to make ends meet and not be left ashamed
before their families.
We would like to inform you that we work
in very difficult conditions, at times 13 to 15 hours a day at heights of 30 to
300 meters, while we lack any life insurance and our salaries are stolen. With
a monthly salary of only $300 dollars we cannot have a decent meal. On Labor
Day we are requesting that you be our voice. Currently, our country’s money is
spent on terrorist projects, killing innocent people in Syria, Iraq and
European countries.
Mr. Secretary-General,
Any appeasement vis-à-vis Khamenei or
Rouhani is a crime against humanity. We are requesting from you to distance
yourself from these criminals and condemn this anti-human and anti-labor regime
for its human rights violations.
