Protest Gathering of Haft Tappeh Workers
A group of Haft Tappeh workers gathered today, March 29, 2023, to protest the implementation and amendment of wage equalization, poor living conditions, medical insurance issues, lack of wage increases, and the neglect of workers’ demands.
Based on the published videos, Ebrahim Abbasi, a labor activist, gave a speech at this gathering. In part of his speech, he said, ‘Strike and protest are our legal rights, and we demand equalization.’
He continued by urging workers across the country and merchants not to remain silent in the face of this wage increase.
In the last days of the previous year, the Supreme Labor Council announced a 21% increase in workers’ wages for the new year.
