The uprising in Syria, as part of the regional Arab Spring, consisted of nationwide demonstrations against increasing levels of inequality, corruption and repression, by working class movements.

The biggest losers have been workers, their families and communities. Nevertheless, there are still working class communities fighting for justice and peace.
