Wages paid fearing protests on the eve of the elections in Iran

The directive has been signed by Ahmad Samali, a senior
official of the Herasat Office at the National Iranian Gas Company.

NCRI - On the eve of February 26  elections , the Iranian regime is feared of protests by workers demanding their rights. A repressive governmental body in the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) has advised company officials to pay all the workers’ unpaid wages prior to the February 26 elections, according to the text of the directive. The directive warned the managers of all refineries, and directors of human resources departments within the NIGC to pay the workers’ salaries to “prevent any possible gatherings or sit-ins and their related negative consequences”.

The directive indicates that any unpaid wages must be paid no later than February 24, 2016, two days prior to the regime’s sham elections. The directive by the Herasat Office reveals the extent of fear by the Iranian regime of public protests in the run-up to the regime’s so-called elections.
“Confrontation and internal power struggle within the Iranian regime on the verge of the parliament and the Assembly of Experts elections has escalated in an unprecedented manner,” the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) said in a statement.
