NCRI – Workers at Ahvaz Pipe Mills Company held a gathering for the seventh day running on Monday outside the governorates office to protest against non-payment of their wages and bonuses for the past 10 months.
Protestors were chanting, “Living in Iran is our indisputable right,” “Government of coup d'état, resign, resign,” “Death or justice,” “With God’s help, victory is close, death to the deceitful government” and “We will not surrender to humiliation.” Members of public joined the workers in their protest.
In fear of the spread of their protest, the suppressive agents attacked the workers and brutally beat and disperse them.
The governor of city of Ahvaz and the head of the company have refused to respond to the legitimate demands of the workers who are unable to provide the basic needs of their families.
The Iranian Resistance calls on all international trade union movements to condemn anti-labor measures in Iran under the clerical rule and support the workers just demands.
