According to reports received from Iran Khodro activists, during the
past few weeks the management of Iran Khodro has sacked over 50 of the
workers who had struck
on 8 March 2006 over bonuses. The workers had gone on strike because in
a year of record-breaking production the bonuses were going to be lower
than the previous year's.
