The 2021 Iran workers strike (also known as Campaign 1400) is a strike in Iran that began in June 2021 by temporary and contract petrochemical workers in Assaluyeh, protesting against low wages, poor working conditions, and a lack of access to necessities such as affordable housing and healthcare. The strikes soon spread, and workers in other Iranian cities gradually went on strike. The first day of the strike was on 19 June and is currently ongoing, but strikes ended on 7 July.
