Protests in Iran to demand better wages
The firefighters gathered in front of the Isfahan municipality building, where they expressed their poor financial situation, while demanding fair wages for themselves.
Despite the Corona virus outbreak in Iranian cities, firefighters were forced to gather, as the videos showed, to protest their poor financial conditions.
As the videos broadcast on social networks show, the firefighters stood in front of the municipality building chanting slogans calling for the reform of the wage distribution law.
Some of them carried banners that read: “We firefighters in the city of Isfahan demand the correction of the law on economic rights and benefits.”
It is noteworthy that Iran is experiencing a devastating economic crisis, due to the Coronavirus pandemic, and due to the economic sanctions that have been imposed on it, and its continued spending of the money of the Iranian people on armed militias in the Middle East region.
Last August, a wave of worker strikes hit Iran, various sectors and factories, including the Haftepe sugarcane industrial complex and the oil and gas industry, to demand the implementation of the job classification law and the payment of their back wages and benefits, according to Radio Farda.
Workers went on strike in the south of the country, at the Abadan, Parsian and Qeshm refineries, at the Lamard petrochemical complex and at the South Pars oil field, and workers at the Qeshm oil refinery, where many work contractors said their wages are not paid regularly.
In recent years, late payment of wages has become a major problem for workers, and persistent difficulties have forced workers to organize protest demonstrations in various parts of Iran, including the cane industrial complex. Haft Tepe sugar mill in the oil-rich Khuzestan province and factory workers celebrated the 48th day of the strike.
