Ever since March 12, when the management of the Ahvaz Pipe Manufacturing Company sacked over 2000 workers on temporary contracts, the workers have been holding daily protests, gatherings and marches.
During February 2009 the bosses of Tikoshin Plastics in Sanandaj, on the basis of a made up excuse, sacked all the company’s eight workers and shut down the workshop. The workers were confronted with the apathy and callousness of the Labour Office and their case has still not been presented to the Insurance Office.
