IRANIAN petrochemical workers were told to “believe in your power” and stay at home as strike action against low wages continued for the seventh consecutive day yesterday.

“The screws are tightened by our hands and the pipes welded with our sweat. No project can continue unless we assemble, weld, or scaffold. 

“Believe in your power and stay at home – let’s see if the scaffolding erects itself,” the Union of Metalworkers and Mechanics (UMMI) said in a statement.
