On Saturday, rail workers in Tehran rallied outside the company office in the Marzdaran district, protesting how they have not received their paychecks for the past two months and company officials not living up to their pledges.
“The workers are in poor economic conditions and they are becoming incapable to make ends meet. The company officials are constantly providing promises, yet always failing to deliver,” one worker said. “On New Year’s eve, this year we had our family problems and were also unable to provide any of our necessities, let alone gifts, without receiving our paychecks. When we receive our New Year bonuses after eight months, will that resolve the spiritual problems caused for our families? When our family members had tears in their eyes seeing the New Year table was empty?”
