Around 100,000 Iranian nurses of private hospitals are to launch a strike in protest to what they call ‘discriminatory policies of the officials’, Iran’s Labor News Agency (ILNA) reported.

Member of Tehran’s Association of Islamic Labor Councils, Ali Ghadyani said: “Following the nurses’ protests last year and the government’s agreement to pay the nurses of state-run hospitals an extra 35,000 toman ($40) per month, the nurses working in these hospitals were kept silent. But now the private sector nurses believe that they have been let down by the government.”

This is while according to Iran’s labor law, the private sector nurses’ working hours are around 190 hours per month while their colleagues in state-run hospitals are required to work only 144 hours in the same period.

Two thumbs up to these nurses. I know how it feels to be treated like a second class citizen.

There was a graduate of Tehran University's BSN program working as a unit secretary. She was being thwarted in her attempt to get her transcript. She did have her Iranian RN license and diploma.

I recently saw her working as an RN but didn't have time to find out what happened.

Good for those nurses! Unity makes it easier to acheive.
