Iranian Civil Servants Protest Unpaid Salaries in Tehran
Iranian Civil Servants Protest Unpaid Salaries in
A group of about 100 Iranian civil servants staged a protest outside the nation's parliament to complain about nonpayment of their salaries for the past several months.
The news agency said the workers complained about not receiving salaries for several months and not receiving insurance coverage themselves. It said they also demanded job security at their organization, which has about 2,800 employees.
The protesters said they fear a potential privatization of the fund would reduce its workforce by two-thirds.
ILNA reports the protesters expressed hope that Iranian lawmakers would take up their grievances. The fund workers have staged several similar protests since last year.
