On 12th November 2018, workers of the Ahwaz Steel National Group in Iran gathered for the third consecutive day in front of the governor’s office after marching in the streets of Ahwaz shouting slogans.
The main objections and demands of the workers are non-payment of their wages for four months, reinstatement of their expelled colleagues, supply of raw materials, restarting the production line and job security.
In the protest, the workers reiterated their right to organise and emphasised the urgency and necessity of forming independent workers’ councils so that they can decide their future and to put an end to corruption and embezzlement.
In the protest the workers shouted slogans about the role the mafia-like directors and the government play in the issues the workers face, the extreme injustice that has been imposed on the workers and against theft and embezzlement that have created many issues for the workers.
The workers shouted slogans to make it clear to the authorities that they are not intimidated by their threats and not afraid of repercussions or imprisonment.
