Conditions for workers in Iran are catastrophic. The collapse of the currency, corruption, inequality, austerity, unpaid wages and unemployment are coupled with average inflation of 42%, but much higher inflation for staples such as food which is 72% and bread 113%. These are figures for late December and have all since increased. The regime has offered a derisory monthly subsidy of 10 million rials ($6.50) for every Iranian, when average protein for survival costs 70 million rials ($45.5).
