A member of the Board of Directors of the Hospital and Treatment Centers' Union believes that the lowering of women's working hours will cause employees not to give key management jobs to women and the ratification of this law is an excuse to eliminate women from the social scene.
"In a traditional society like Iran, the lowering of women's working hours can seriously damage this stratum because this will definitely lead to the lowering of their wages and may hurt their professions", Zeinab Taheri said.
"Currently, many of the women in our country are the breadwinners of their families and if this law is passed, employees will not welcome hiring women or will give them lower wages, therefore it can be said that the lowering of women's working hours can lead to a decrease in social calamities"
