Abstract
In the midst of the Oil Nationalization Movement, south oil areas (including Khuzestan) were of great attentions. In addition to the oil industry in these areas that the debates to control them were in the peak point, oil workers' strikes in 1951 caused some stances in this regard. In March of 1951 a part from the salaries of workers of Oil Company was deducted that helped sparking the strikes in these areas. The workers would consider the company responsible for their salaries deduction and chaos in oil areas. Tudeh party tried to organize the workers by its dual policies and National party and its leaders were attempting to calm the oil fields. Bad economic conditions and livelihood of workers were the main reasons for the workers' movements and the critical position of these areas due to the struggle for the nationalization of oil were to be considered greatly. However, this study, besides to investigate the strikes, seeks the answer to this question: Which were the causes of formation of oil workers' strikes in south oil areas and what did the above mentioned parties do in such situation?
It seems that the Oil Company's policy to reduce the workers' salary and appearance of dissatisfactions (which resulted in Tudeh's activities among the workers) caused the union of them.
The method of this study is descriptive-analytic and the writer has tried to collect the required information by the documents and library resources.
