 كارگران آگاه، پيشرو و فعالين كارگرى در راه احقاق حقوق به حق كارگران در شرايط كنونى جامعه بايد در بين كارگران    خدماتى، شركتى، صنايع و كارگران ميدانى و فصلى حضور پيدا كنند

و آنها را نسبت به شرايط به وجود آمده  مثل گراني، بيكاري، نبود امنيت شغلي و علت بوجود آمدن اين بحران ها آگاه كنند و با تهيه  نشريات و بولتن هاي كارگري راه و روش مبارزه صنفي و رسيدن به مطالبات قانوني به كارگران را آموزش دهند و كارگران آگاه و پيشرو بايد از طريق آموزش و آگاه دادن به كارگران تمامي صنوف، تشكل هاي كارگري را در كشور رواج دهند تا .مطالبات صنفي و سياسي خودشان را پيگيري كنند

Reza Shahabi on Medical Treatment strike

Reza Shahabi was also attacked as recently the security forces raided the section 350 of Evin-prison and physical abused and assaulted the prisoners.

They tugged Reza Shahabi and threw him violently out of bed by holding his feet. This brutal act intensified the back and leg pain of Reza.

Despite this situation the chief of sick ward of prison refuse to send him and other political prisoners to a hospital out of the prison with the feeble excuses such as: the minimum number of requests is not reached or you simulate. Even accessing the sick ward in prison means many body searches, insult and offense.

In protest against these conditions Reza Shahabi started a Medical Treatment Refusal beginning August 11, 2013.
