A group of expelled workers of the Bela Shoe Company in Tehran staged a protest rally on Sunday, February 16th, outside the Meli Bank standing in the Istanbul intersection, demanding to return to work.
These workers, all having between 22 to 28 years of working experience, were expired from work two months ago and some hadn’t received their wages for the past two years. The owner of the company is the brother of a Majlis (parliament) member and the workers’ protests have so far reached nowhere.
