Baku, Azerbaijan, Sept. 28
By Fatih Karimov - Trend: Some 100 workers at Iran's Doroud steel plant continued the 9th day of strike in protest against working conditions.
Workers say their salaries have not been paid for three months and their insurance premiums have not been paid for three years, ILNA news agency reported Sept. 28.
They also claim that 16 workers have been axed after their contracts were terminated.
They are protesting against not being paid any fringe benefit over the past year.
