In Tabriz, East Azerbaijan Province, protesters gathered in front of the Central Telecommunications Office to voice their disapproval of the nonpayment of insurance, wages, and other legally guaranteed rights.

Despite years of putting in more hours than official employees, the disgruntled workers claimed that their pay and benefits still differed greatly.

They expressed dissatisfaction over the lack of job security, employers' failure to pay insurance premiums, and the failure to pay for medical care and prescription drugs, even though these are mandated by law.

Employees in Azerbaijan claimed that the company's management was threatening to terminate their contracts and fire them for demonstrating in support of their rights.
