After 18 months of strikes
and protests, the workers at the Bandar Imam Petrochemical Complex enforced their demands and
achieved an agreement with the management to eliminate the subcontracting
companies and signing contracts directly between workers and Petrochemical Co. (BIPC)
In June this year began
the process of signing direct contract with the workers, but since then only
30% of contracts have been converted. So, the promises are not fulfilled and
the workers at the Kimia Bandar Imam Co. went on strike on 28 of October to protest
against this situation.
The workers announced that
if the promises are not fulfilled promptly they will continue and upscale their
strike from single companies of BIPC into an area-wide strike after the
upcoming holidays.
