Tehran - contract employees of Azadi Stadium on strike

Contract workers of Tehran’s Azadi Stadium went at 9 on strike on Monday, February 29^th as their paychecks have been delayed for a long time now. Workers of contract companies related to the stadium management were also on strike in this coordinated protest.

A portion of these workers’ demands were to be paid in leases, and the remaining to be deposited in the spring of 2016, according to a protester. However, the stadium management and officials have not lived up to their words, leaving them empty handed before the Iranian calendar New Year on March 20^th. Azadi Stadium contract workers have not received their paychecks for the past 4 months.
