Second Wave Of Iranian Truck Drivers Strike 2018

Truck drivers in Iran continued their nationwide strike for a 6th day, spreading to the cities of Arak, Chaboksar, Poldokhtar, Yasuj, Kavar, Kashmar, Neyshabur, Saveh, Eslamshahr, Farrokhshahr, Tehran, Ardabil and Marand.

Truck drivers were also seen on strike in Khorramabad, western Iran. 112 cities of 30 provinces are now scenes of this nationwide strike movement.

The drivers’ main demands are higher fares and lower repair costs but nothing is done for them. On July 24 an eye-catching number of drivers parked their trucks on the Chalous freeway, up north, after a lorry tipped over due to pitiable road conditions.
