Iran: Strikes and protests of workers in major cities

3

NCRI – According to reports from Tehran, ‘High-Voltage station’ workers gathering in front of regime’s reactionary parliament, were forced to leave the area following the intervention of the suppressive law enforcement agents. The workers then gathered once again in front of the Management and Planning Organization as well as the parliament’s park area while wearing yellow helmets.

In Central Iran, coffee shop owners in Isfahan held a gathering in front of Isfahan Governor’s place on Sunday September 25 in protest against the closure of their shops. It is noteworthy that more than 400 coffee shops have been shut down in Isfahan in recent weeks.

On the morning of Saturday September 24, a group of agricultural engineering supervisors in Khuzestan (Southern Iran) gathered in front of Ministry of Agriculture in Ahwaz.

One of the demonstrators said that they have been promised to be hired in the Ministry from 2011, but after five years, still nothing has been done in this regard. The agricultural supervisors who were promised to be hired, have now more than six years of work experience.

He added: “for years we have been waiting to be hired and now that we’ve grown older, we can’t even apply for a job elsewhere.”

More than 150 of the agricultural engineering supervisors have applied for a job in the Ministry of Agriculture in Khuzestan, but their cases have not yet been dealt with.

The gathering in front of Khuzestan Agricultural Organization lasted for two hours. After receiving no response, the demonstrators then shifted to Khuzestan Management and Planning Organization.
