At Karoun Petrochemical, organized oppression and discrimination against local forces have significantly increased. Local workers express concern over the process of dismissing and replacing local workers with individuals from other cities.
Dire Situation of Local Workers
According to reports, the working conditions for local workers at Karoun Petrochemical's projects have become extremely difficult. Although some contractors, under pressure from managers, are forced to hire local workers, their wages have been minimized and payments are made with long delays. Living conditions, food, and insurance are also in poor status.
As projects approach their final stages, the dismissal of local workers has begun, and forces from Likak, Dehdasht, Yasuj, and Behbahan are quickly replacing them. These forces are often from a specific area, raising questions among local workers.
Unanswered Questions
Local workers wonder what the problem is between managers and local workers? Why are they only employed for hard jobs and replaced by non-local forces after testing? And why has the number of non-local forces been continuously increasing in recent years? This situation is a warning sign for social justice in the region.
