According to the report published by the Coordinating Council of Cultural Union Organizations today, Wednesday, January 10th, thousands of retired teachers protested against the non-payment of bonus balances and the issuing of a rating amendment order and the payment of arrears for the years 21, 22, and 23. They gathered and stressed on their demands.
In this gathering, one of the protesting teachers spoke about the non-implementation of the ranking plan and the reduction of their salaries. And his protest speech was supported by the applause of the crowd. The protesters chanted slogans such as: “Neither the parliament nor the government cares about the people”, “One less embezzlement, our problem will be solved”. In this protest gathering, the presence of women was very impressive.
Retired teachers protest against the low level of salaries, lack of free treatment and against embezzlement and theft. Raising salaries above the poverty line of 30 million toman/month (about $700), free health service and free education, and having the necessary facilities to provide housing, ending the securitising of the protests and the release of imprisoned teachers and all political prisoners were among the demands announced by them in the gatherings. Retired teachers have their national gatherings every Tuesday, and in their recent gatherings, together with the social security retirees, they have been at the forefront of the union of the ranks of retirees, emphasizing the struggle unity of different sections of the retirees.
