🎥 Workers at the Derakhshan copper mine in Sirjan went on strike They say they have not received wages for three months Workers at the Derakhshan copper mine in Takhte Gonbad, Sirjan, went on strike to protest the non-payment of three months of back wages. At the same time, heavy expenses were reportedly spent for the ceremonies of Ali Khamenei’s funeral and burial—again highlighting the gap between government costs and workers’ living difficulties. According to Haalvosh, on Saturday, 13 Tir, a number of workers at this mine stopped work and gathered on the mine premises, demanding the immediate payment of their claims. They say they have not received wages for three months, and that the continuation of this situation has put their families’ livelihoods in crisis. This is not the first protest by the workers at this mine; they previously also went on strike for several days in 1401 due to unpaid wages and benefits and livelihood problems.
