Retirees of Iran's Mokhaberat telecom company protested Monday in several cities, accusing entities affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of failing to pay pension benefits since the company's privatization, according to reports. The protests add to a wave of labor unrest in Iran over economic conditions.
Retirees of Iran's Mokhaberat telecom company, which was privatized and is now controlled by entities linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), demonstrated Monday in multiple cities across the country. They demand unpaid pension benefits, alleging that IRGC-affiliated bodies have not fulfilled their obligations since taking over the company. The protest is the latest in a series of labor actions in Iran. As The Zioneer reported on June 28, pensioners protested outside National Insurance branches in several cities over similar grievances. The ongoing unrest reflects deepening economic hardship and public frustration with IRGC economic influence, which controls a significant portion of Iran's industrial and commercial sectors.
