Railway workers in Samawah, Kirkuk and Basra went on strike Tuesday demanding that the new salary scheme adopted by the Iraqi government should include railway workers as well.
Thousands of workers stopped working and demanded that the government should review their pay and to immediately pay their delayed bonuses.
The strikers threatened to continue with their industrial action if their just demands are not met.
