Iran: planned

The labor-unions in Iran published a joint resolution in which they among other things say that prohibition of celebration of this day in Iran is in effect, and many organizing workers of the May 1388/2009 event have been convicted and imprisoned and subjected to heavy sentences.
They also say that in three decades after the 1979 revolution, the minimum wage has been reduced to a quarter below the poverty line and lack of timely payment of these wages and the firing of masses of workers, temporary contracts, have imposed hellish conditions on millions of workers families.

Syndicate of Workers of Haft Tappeh Sugar Cane Company
