Workers' wages not paid for six months
GVF -- An MP from the city of Arak has spoken of job losses at a plant of a company called Abangan in the city of Arak.
Ahmad Lotfi Ashtiani who represents Arak in the Iranian Parliament (Majlis) told the Iranian Labour News Agency (ILNA), that ceding the company and the subsequent unemployment that it would lead to, meant that it would be better not to implement article 44 of the Iranian constitution which refers to the economy and financial affairs.
Ashtiani stated that on the basis of article 44, Abangan was ceded at a price of around fourteen million dollars and they have even received fifty million dollars of government loans, and yet workers are losing their jobs at the company.
“The workers at Abangan have not received their wages for six months and are uncertain,” he added.
