Iran: petrochemical workers rally outside parliament in Tehran

Around 200 workers of the Mahshahr and Asluie petrochemical companies held a protest rally outside Iran’s parliament from 8 am on Tuesday, January 26^th, reports from Tehran indicate.

The protesters were demanding follow ups for their living conditions, especially the fact that many such workers are being laid off in large numbers and their salaries are never paid on schedule. A placard seen in this rally wrote, “Yes to privatization, No to violating the rights of official workers.”
