Event

Workers of the Tehran Bus Company plan to protest outside the company's headquarters in Tehran from 10:00 Jan. 8 over several issues， including the late payment of salaries and poor working conditions. Dozens to hundreds of individuals could attend the demonstration.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the headquarters of the Tehran Bus Company the morning of Jan. 8. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse. While organizers have not announced any work stoppages, there could be delays in bus services during the action.
