Municipal workers in Basht and Zahedan, healthcare staff in Nik Shahr, and line technicians in Shush have reported unpaid wage arrears. Concurrently, employees at the Philver appliance manufacturing plant in Tehran gathered to protest ongoing layoffs and job insecurity.
HRANA reported that municipal workers in Basht, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, have gone unpaid for at least two months and face growing wage arrears. Their situation stems from frozen municipal bank accounts following creditor lawsuits. Workers attribute the crisis to past municipal mismanagement and a lack of oversight by the city council, demanding immediate funding to cover their salaries.
In Zahedan, contracted municipal workers report six months of unpaid wages. Follow-ups with authorities have yielded no results, and no timeline has been provided for paying their claims.
Additionally, wages for 70 employees at the Nik Shahr Health Network, a subsidiary of the Chabahar Faculty of Medical Sciences, have been delayed for four months. These workers have waited nearly two years for the stabilization of their employment status. Affected staff include contract, hourly, and vector-borne disease control personnel, who were told their claim documentation must first clear the financial system before funding decisions are made.
