NCRI – On Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2017 a demonstration was staged in front of the Governor’s office in Gilan province by the laid off workers of ‘Parandak-Khazar’ Slaughterhouse who were protesting against being fired and not being paid.

‘About 100 workers with long term records of service have been fired since April from ‘Parandak-Khazar’ Slaughterhouse,’ said one protester. ‘We were fired after a 4-month cessation of the slaughterhouse’s activities. We have not been paid our salaries for 6 to 14 months.’

According to the protesters the slaughterhouse owes about 20 million tumans to these workers who have not been receiving any response for the past 9 months while the slaughterhouse owes every one of the, between 20 and 30 million Tumans.

The workers managed to obtain a judicial decree to possess the slaugherhouse’s belongings to compensate for their unpaid salaries. But they found out that the ‘Agriculture Bank’ has confiscated all the belongings for its own case against the slaughterhouse leaving the workers with nothing in their hands now.
