NCRI – Iranian steel workers protest 7 months’ unpaid salary; boss responds: “If you want to remain employed, stop complaining”.

A group of steel workers in Iran are protesting over the 7 months’ unpaid salary and unpaid bonuses from 2015.

The workers, from the Alborz steel factory stopped working on Sunday August 21, and gathered in front of the factory.

They were then told by their employer that they would be fired if they did not return to work.

Their boss said that anyone who wished to remain employed come Monday morning (August 22) should return to work and write a letter promising not to protest the conditions.

The ILNA news agency, which is run by the Iranian Regime, spoke to the protesters who said that in addition to not being paid at all in 2016 and not receiving their 2015 bonus, the employer had also not paid their Social Security premiums for nearly 16 months.

Alborz steel workers explained that the factory does not have any production problems but still refuses to pay the contractors.
