The price of a simple Pride car is more than two years' worth of a worker's salary / Rent exceeds the annual wages and benefits of workers.

Ali Reza Khormei, a labor activist, said: "Electricity will be increased by 38%, dairy products by about 30%, and housing by more than 40%. However, wages will increase by only 27% and 23%, and despite not being signed by the labor representatives, they will be frozen until the end of the year with no increase in pay.

The price of a simple Pride car is at least 315 million Tomans; a minimum-wage worker does not earn even 150 million Tomans in a year. Therefore, we must say that the price of a Pride car is more than twice the annual salary of a worker; meaning that a worker must save all of their wages, plus bonuses and benefits, for two full years to perhaps afford to buy a Pride car!" / ILNA
