A group of cultural heritage specialists and experts from national and world heritage organizations have published an open letter warning about the future of restoration, maintenance, and protection of the most important historical monuments. They specifically point out their concerns regarding the status and work conditions of individuals working on heritage.
According to reports by the Iranian news agencies, national heritage employees consistently receive their salaries late and are worried about their employment status and contracts. Most of them complain about their low salaries, lower than that of ordinary workers.
