Ahwaz: Workers of pipe production Factory under the "death line"

Near 1200 deprived workers of Pipe Production Factory are still in uncertainty without salaries and New Year bonuses. This is at the time when there are less than 10 days left to Nowrooz festivities (Persian New Year which begins on the first day of spring season).
After a 10-day-strike, from Feb. 8th to Feb. 19th, workers at this factory went back to their work believing the pledges made to them by the government authorities, but so far nothing has been done and no salary or benefits have been paid. They have been told that their salary would be paid in payments and there is no sign of benefits. 
Workers say they do not have anything to lose. Poverty is not a proper definition describing their living conditions and a new definition must be introduced by saying that they live under the death line instead of poverty line now.
