Iran has witnessed new protests as angry firefighters have taken to the streets to protest their poor financial situation.
The firefighters gathered in front of the Isfahan municipality building, where they expressed their poor financial situation, demanding fair wages.
Despite the outbreak of the novel coronavirus in Iran, video clips on social media showed firefighters who gathered in front of the municipality building chanting slogans calling for reform of the wage distribution law.
Some carried banners saying, "We, firefighters in the city of Isfahan, demand the correction of the law on rights and financial benefits."
The Persian county is witnessing a grinding economic crisis, due to the coronavirus pandemic, and due to the economic sanctions imposed on it. Instead, it spends the people’s money on armed militias in the Middle East.
It was a wave of workers' strikes that struck Iran last summer, among various sectors and factories, including the sugar cane industry complex Haftepe, and the oil and gas industry, to demand the implementation of the job classification law and the payment of their back wages and benefits, according to Radio Farda.
Workers went on strike in the south of the country, in the refineries of Abadan, Persian and Qeshm, into the Lamard petrochemical complex, and in the South Pars oil field.
Workers at the Qeshm oil refinery, where many contractors work, said that their salaries are not being paid regularly.ايران
