Last Thursday, when the workers gave up work, Mr. Pourebrahim, chairman of the Board of Directors of Bahman Motor, threatened to cut off the worker's rights in order to intimidate the workers, who objected to the threat that a person named Mr. Mousavi, on behalf of the company's main shareholders, would come to the workers' gathering and promised to fulfil all the demands of the workers within a week and invited the workers to do so. Their representatives will be present to negotiate with the company's owners. After the deal, workers ended the strike.

Workers also returned to work after making sure their colleagues were not fired.On Thursday, December 3rd, was the end of a week-long deadline for fulfilling workers' demands, which were not able to strike and rally for creating a security space by the company's security and justifying that it was the weekend, but they are determined that if the representative of the company's owners does not fulfil their demands, they will strike again.
