The workers from Sazmaye Company have not received their salaries for the past three months.
The head of Pakdasht Workers Union said that the workers had been demanding government action during this time but to no avail.
We are starving, you turn a blind eye, was repeatedly chanted by the agitated protestors.
They blamed the selling of the state-run company to a wealthy but corrupt individual as the reason for which the company had lost its value.
