According to the reports published yesterday, June 22, the scope of strikes of contract oil project workers has widened, and now more than twenty thousand of these workers have gone on strike in nearly 90 different oil and gas companies to pursue their demands. 14 days of work, 14 days of rest, salary increase and above all, the removal of contractors are the urgent demands of these workers. While reporting this news, the organizing council of the protests of oil contract workers writes: “We also want to improve our living and working conditions, including improving the conditions of the dormitories, the quality of food, and the public sanitary facilities of the dormitories (toilets and bathrooms), and the necessary cooling equipment in the working and living environments. In addition, we have emphasized on the safety of the work environment that takes victims every day.
We declare that if our campaign and demand for 14 days of work and 14 days of rest is not answered, if our wages are not increased in accordance with our announced demands, and the discrimination in payments and working conditions is not eliminated, the situation will be the same and we have no doubt that more sections of colleagues will join the strike. “.
In the continuation this council, spoke about decades of rule by the mafia of oil contractors and slave-like work pressures and raised his voice of protest in unison with other sections of the society and wrote: “Our salaries and rights as oil workers, under the claws of the mafia for several decades been crushed. In this industry, the main thing is to steal more of our livelihoods. We have had a war with the companies’ barracks. In no period of time, the authorities had no plans for the oil workers. We have no place for them even in the form of a promise. The lawlessness of the special economic zones are their excuses. But enough is enough! We will not be silent. We struggle for our rights. As retirees and justice seekers and other sectiosn of people shouted, we too declare: Vote? No vote!”
