On 14th February, workers of Jahan Vegetable Oil corporation in Zanjan province, Iran, restarted their protest as the authorities failed to meet their demands.
The workers held an assembly in front of the governor’s office of Zanjan and protested against embezzlements and the threat of closure of their factory. The workers say that the authorities have been promising to solve the issues but failed to act.
In November 2018, after 12 days of strike, the employer was forced to pay the workers’ outstanding wages, re-employ the 19 expelled workers and promised to make sure that the production lines are not shut down but now five months of the workers’ wages remain unpaid and none of the demands have been met.
