The strike of at least one thousand contract workers at Chadormalu in Yazd province continued on Monday, August 2, in protest against the indifference of mine managers and contracting companies to their demands. According to the Free Workers Union of Iran, citing the striking workers, the company officials have ignored the workers' requests, and a meeting on Sunday night between mine managers and contracting companies with members of the Asphalt Tos Workers' Association, the main extraction company at the mine, ended without results. They stated that the managers only made baseless promises and were unwilling to take any practical action to fulfill the workers' demands. Additionally, the strike has involved workers from Asphalt Tos along with workers from Chadormalu's subsidiary companies, including Nasimavaran Payan Hatami and Khaan Gostar Jahani. This strike has led to a complete halt of all production activities at Chadormalu mine, including crushing units, reclaimer, production and loading lines, as well as the mountain line and trucks. The Free Workers Union of Iran noted that the main demands of the striking workers include 'wage increases, full payment of company Saha dividends, wage equalization, and entitlement to supplementary insurance.' In recent years, labor protests have occurred in various regions of Iran. The reasons for these protests, which have taken the form of gatherings and strikes, include delayed wage payments and worsening living conditions.
