Nationwide Gathering of Telecommunications Retirees
Telecommunications retirees staged protests on Monday, February 20th, across the country, including in Tehran, Isfahan, Kurdistan, Khuzestan, Isfahan, Lorestan, and Ilam, in protest of the lack of attention to their demands.
The ILNA news agency has reported that their main demands include the implementation of the 2009 regulations, reduction of the supplementary insurance share, and the payment of welfare benefits and grocery shares from January 2022 to the present.
The supplementary insurance share for retirees has increased from 20% to 50%, and they are demanding a return to the previous arrangement.
