This nationwide strike, known as the &#8220;14-14 Campaign,&#8221; began on June 19, with demands for eliminating contractors, higher wages, and a revised work schedule of 14 days on and 14 days off. The protests, which included workers from 75 different companies, highlighted their ongoing struggle against poor working conditions and inadequate pay. Footage posted on social media shows workers at Dirin Sanat Raveen in Andimeshk participating in the strike, emphasizing their resolve to intensify protests if their demands were unmet by the end of June.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Coordination Council for Protesting Oil Contract Workers reported that more than 20,000 workers from nearly 90 oil and gas companies had joined the strike. They reiterated their demands for better pay, improved working conditions, and the abolition of the contractor system, which they likened to modern-day slavery. &#8220;We are claimants and will not submit to this slavery,&#8221; the council declared, urging nationwide support for the striking workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">June 23\u2014Isfahan, central <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a><br \/>Retirees of the steel industry hold protest rally, demanding higher pensions and other basic rights. <br \/>&quot;Shout for your rights!&quot; protesters chant<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IranProtests?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IranProtests<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Aq1p6zhiao\">pic.twitter.com\/Aq1p6zhiao<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; People&#39;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mojahedineng\/status\/1804805739992453204?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 23, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In Rasht, northern Iran, retirees of the Social Security Organization gathered to reiterate their demands for higher pensions and other basic needs.
