The company said in a statement that several staff employed
by Petrosaman Avaran, a contractor at the complex, had raised wage-related
demands since Aug. 10, some of which fell outside the scope of Iran’s labor law
and formal employer obligations.
While management held talks with workers and arranged
multiple meetings with local authorities and labor representatives, work
disruptions occurred after a number of employees staged what the company
described as “unconventional” actions.
Negotiations were also held at the governor’s office and at
the regional labor department, but according to Razi, elected worker
representatives refused to attend one key session.
Razi said the contractor has met its financial and welfare
obligations under existing contracts, but some employees, influenced by “a few
individuals seeking to disrupt order,” had not returned to work. The company
added that judicial authorities were consulted to prevent production stoppages
and stabilize operations.
The statement urged media outlets and social media users to
avoid spreading unverified claims and stressed that dialogue and adherence to
labor law remain the best way to resolve disputes.
