In Iran, oil workers have started strikes where death penalty for such thing
Budrigannews.com – Saturday’s posts on social media allegedly showed a group of oil workers protesting in southern Iran, demanding higher wages and retirement bonuses.
Reuters was unable to verify the rumored protests by oil workers, which occur amid the most daring challenge to Iran’s Islamic Republic since the 1979 revolution.
The September 16 death in custody of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini from Iran’s Kurdish region for wearing “inappropriate attire” sparked the nationwide protests.
The oil ministry of Iran could not immediately be reached for comment.
The extremist HRANA news organization said on Saturday that a gathering of oil laborers fought external the Standards Oil and Petrochemical Organization in Asaluyeh in the southern Bushehr Region on the Bay coast.

It stated that the protesters’ demands included, in addition to wage increases and pension bonuses, the elimination of salary caps and high income taxes, enhanced welfare services, and improved health conditions.
During the Iranian revolution of the 1940s, a combination of massive protests and strikes by oil workers and Bazaar merchants helped propel the clergy to power.
