The bus drivers of Tehran are going on strike this Saturday. According to the Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran (nominee, 2005 "Most Awkward Name" award), the bus drivers are protesting "poor conditions, the lack of the right of having an independent union and the persistent imprisonment of their colleagues."
Good for them, of course, and it's a shame the American media isn't covering this. Michael Ledeen points out the story at National Review's blog. He also writes, without any indication that he realizes the hilarity of the situation:

so far I'm aware of exactly two men ... who have called for support for the Bus Drivers' Collective: Jimmy Hoffa Jr. and Rick Santorum.Forget photo's of Bush and Abramoff. I want to see Hoffa and Santorum!
I am surprised Rocky Anderson hasn't announced support for the cabbies. Really, the cabbies here love him. - SLC shuttle company user.
