Housing rights for workers will be 650 thousand tomans?

According to Tejarat News, on the 27th of August, the Acting Ministry of Labor announced the resolution to increase the salaries of retired workers based on the wage decisions of the Supreme Labor Council. But the amendment of the right to housing in 1401 is still pending.

Ilana He wrote, in the letter of the speaker of the parliament on July 29th, two issues were mentioned: firstly, increasing the pension of retirees and secondly, the housing rights of working workers; In this letter, both issues need to be corrected; Mohammadreza Tajik (representative of the Supreme Assembly of Labor Representatives in the Supreme Labor Council) says in this regard: the government should have issued the notice of housing rights of 650,000 tomans long ago.

He adds: After the letter of the Speaker of the Parliament, we expected the government to issue an amendment to the housing allowance within a week or ten days at the latest and to prepare the grounds for its implementation. The workers and employers were waiting for this notice in August and despite the fact that the housing right of 650 thousand tomans is mandatory based on the tripartite approval of the Supreme Labor Council, the workers were still deprived of this wage component.

According to him, currently more than half of workers’ wages go to house rent and housing costs, the housing right of 650 thousand tomans cannot solve the workers’ housing problem, but despite all this, the government refuses to announce it.

Tajik continues: In addition to notifying the right to housing, the grounds for paying the difference must be provided for the first few months of the year; The Supreme Labor Council has approved the housing allowance of 650 thousand tomans in 1401, so the housing allowance of 650 thousand tomans must be paid to the working workers from the same month of April.

He emphasizes: every month’s delay is detrimental to the workers and it is not clear why the implementation of explicit legal requirements in this field is abandoned; We are waiting for the notification of the government and the payment of the difference in housing rights.
