Against Wage-Labour

More than 600 workers of Eram Noush Soft-drink (under license of 7-Up International), are under a quiet hellish situation, confused and full of fear.  It has been years that these workers are selling their labour power to capitalists and producing the surplus value and capital, under unavoidable pressure and in extreme desperation with a blank contract as well as enduring the most scornful and miserable form of wage-slavery.  Every day the capitalists expand the scope of their disfranchisements, miseries and added intensity of the exploitation due to the desperate situation of workers.  This year, workers announced that they are not accepting any blank contracts and making their demands of guarantees of their employment and consequently, the owners of capital on hearing such things have begun sacking workers.  They issued sacking orders of hundreds and they announced that they will sack those workers who oppose signing the blank contracts.  The intractability of capitalists has been faced with the wave of the resistance of workers’ unity.  Six hundred workers decided to stand against the unjustified demands of capital.  A few days ago they went on strike and today they gathered in front of the Labour Ministry of capital.  All workers from two sectors (production and sales) were participating at this gathering.  They emphasized that they will continue their struggle until their demands are met.
