Temporary workers of Petroshahd Oil declare hunger strike, demand permanent contracts

Ninety temporary workers of Petroshahd Oil working in the Oasis Road site went on hunger strike on Wednesday, demanding permanent contracts. They have been working for the company for more than five years, which entitles them to appointment in accordance with law.
 
The workers, who say they are underpaid, claimed the chairman threatened them, saying he would call the army and the police if they do not end the strike.
