On Thursday, May 10th, at least 32 Iranian cities were the scene of rally by teachers and educators protesting very low salaries, difficult livelihood and deprivation of minimum job benefits including efficient health insurance, and lack of job security and disregard for their demands. The working and retired teachers and educators called for release of imprisoned teachers and other political prisoners and demanded better salaries above the poverty line and better standards of living.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, May 1st, despite repressive measures and deceptive tactics of the Iranian regime, and despite the fact that the regime refused to grant the workers a permit for their rally, the workers, the toilers and looted people turned the\u00a0International Workers\u2019 Day<\/a>\u00a0into anti-government demonstrations in different cities to protest their catastrophic situation of work and livelihood.<\/p>\n
