 Tehran, Iran, Mar. 01 – Textile workers from the
central Iranian city of Isfahan
blockaded a major highway from the city to the Iranian capital Tehran on Monday and
Tuesday in protest to not being paid their salaries.
The protestors, all employees of the Rahim-Zadeh
Weaving Company, complained that they had neither received their salaries for
the past three month nor their annual bonus, the state-run news agency ILNA
reported.
They were also concerned about the fact that the factory had stopped
receiving supplies of raw materials which they believe was a sign that it
would soon close down and lay off its 300 employees.
