In Tehran, a number of workers of the auto repair shops of “Iran Khodro” (car manufacturing) staged a gathering in front of the company office in Azadi Street to protest undesirable employment status and worsening work conditions. Unbridled imports of auto parts from China have greatly diminished the quality of work in these offices and workers are continuously forced to face complaints by people due to low quality of service.

In Shahr-e Rey, on Tuesday, April 27, more than 50 workers from “Hamgen” company in Shams Abad staged a gathering in front of the city hall to protest and demand unpaid salaries.

In recent days, in Marvdasht, protests by laid off workers of the Fars meat plant continue in front of the plant, the labor office and the insurance office of the municipality. The production unit, which has over 1400 workers, has now been shut down completely. The mullahs’ officials are refraining from investigating and responding to the workers’ demands and protests, which started in April, including their retirement needs.

In Rasht, on April 27, workers at the “Khavar” textile plant staged a protest gathering in front of the plant and prevented the board of directors from entering the site. The workers’ protests, which have continued in recent days, aim to have their rights and benefits respected, including receiving of three months of delayed pay.

In Kerman, on April 24, about 50 workers of the “Bardsir” sugar cube factory gathered in protest along with their families in front of the factory to demand their delayed salaries and obtain work.

Financial ruin, industrial wreckage and the poverty of millions of workers in Iran are just some of the consequences of the clerical regime’s plunders and unpopular policies, which squander the nation’s vast resources and wealth in the nuclear weapons development project and export of terrorism.

As the International Workers’ Day approaches, the Iranian Resistance calls on the International Labor Organization, all workers’ unions and syndicates, as well as organizations advocating workers’ rights across the world to defend the rights of Iranian workers and condemn the anti-labor and suppressive policies of the clerical regime.
