Workers in one shift held a sit-in against the mullah regime's policies against blue-collar workers. Shootings occured in the ensuing clashes with the regime's Guards.
Workers' persistence in their protest forced the regime's officials to remove Sabri, the managing director, and promise to revise the factory's plans on distribution of profits, before they ended their sit-in.
Isfahan's Simeen textile factory is one of the biggest production units in the province and has three working shifts with several thousand workers. Last December, too, Simeen's workers staged a six-day strike to demand payment of their salaries.
The textile factory is affiliated with the Mostaz'afin Foundation, whose head, Mohsen Rafiqdoust, was recently summoned to a- billion-dollar fraud trial where his brother is one of the main figures accused.
