Iran: The Iranian Labour News Agency (ILNA), has reported that around 700 labourers who work for the Sepahan Cement Company have gone on strike. It is reported that they downed tools on 6 July 2012 and have been protesting at the site of the Sepahan Cement plant.

The contract workers had written letters to officials of the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labour and Social Welfare as well as some MPs and informed them about poor working conditions and pay. They said that 'the correspondence did not bear any result.' It appears that the strike is the result of this apparent lack of response. The dispute continues.
