World News- Iraq- Oil workers on strike in Basra
Hundreds of oil workers in southern Iraq have staged protests after disputes with their employers over overtime pay and demotions, sparking union leaders to call for a much-delayed labor law to be ratified.
It is the latest in an ongoing dispute between Iraqi laborers and the government that refuses to recognize them, which would be a major risk to any foreign investment, especially in the oil sector.
