Workers of Iran Appliance Company strike
A group of workers and employees of the Industrial Sponge of Iran, based in the province of Qazvin in northwest Iran, went on strike and held a protest rally once again demanding their unpaid wages and salaries.
According to reports, a number of Industrial Sponge of Iran employees say it has been 10 years since the closure of the company, yet the authorities are not paying the employees their unpaid wages and retirement pensions.
These employees also say that various media outlets have time and again published their claims and job difficulties, yet the authorities are paying no attention to their claims and lend a deaf ear to their grievances.
This company stopped operating back in 2009. However, while the company owed its employees unpaid wages and insurance benefits, it ignored all the outstanding debts it had leaving these employees in limbo status.
