More than 60 workers at the Iran National Steel Industrial Group (INSIG) in Ahvaz, Khuzestan Province, have been arrested for demanding their salaries, which have not been paid to them for the last three months, according to an independent Iranian labor organization.
The Free Workers Union of Iran reported that on the night of June 11, 2018, security forces carried out a “barbaric raid” against strikers and arrested close to 50 workers. About 15 steelworkers were also arrested the next day at a rally in front of the Khuzestan Governor General’s office.
Workers at the manufacturing plant have gone on strike numerous times in recent weeks to demand back pay. Their latest action began on June 10, 2018, when workers rallying in front of provincial government buildings and with of members of Iran’s Parliament, chanting, “They don’t pay salaries, death to America,” “workers will die but will not be humiliated,” and “we don’t want inept lawmakers.”
On June 12, Khuzestan Governor Gholamreza Shariati told the semi-official Iranian Labor News Agency (ILNA) that he was making inquiries about the workers’ mass arrests and seeking to send fresh funds to the financially troubled company.
