50 workers of the National North drilling Company gathered in front of Oil Ministry in Tehran on Jan. 14th, to protest against their dismissal under the pretext of financial resource deficit.
An angry worker said that no governmental agency or organization is ready to defend the workers’ rights. Every month they lay off 50 or sometimes up to 200 workers with bogus excuses, and exactly a day later they publish notices of new hiring. If they have financial deficits to the extent that forces them to lay off their employees, why would they go out to hire the same number of dismissed employees? and with the same specialties and expertise.
