Iran : Textile Workers Blockade Highway in Protest

Fibre 2 Fashion:
Textile workers of Rahim-Zadeh Weaving Company blocked a major highway from the city of Isfahan to Tehran to protest against non-payment of their salaries. The employees were not paid salaries for three months and their annual bonus was also kept pending.

On the other hand, the factory was not being supplied with raw materials.

This led them to believe that the factory may be heading for a shut down and its 300 workers may be laid off.
