    At the intersection of al-Jamaa neighborhood in the center of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, dozens of workers gather under the scorching rays of the sun in what is known as al-Matar Square in search of work that provides them with a little income.

    And the underlined is a parking yard where workers gather for daily wages (daily wage), and they go out to it in the early hours of dawn, competing with time, hoping they will get a job opportunity that will provide them with a little money.
    Yasser Al-Shammari, 38, one of dozens of workers standing in search of work, says that "Iraqi workers suffer from the absence of work opportunities and deprivation of their most basic rights," noting that "some of them remain for several days without work."
    Al-Shammari added, "Although the availability of work in some cases, it is not commensurate with the effort they are making, due to the absence of job opportunities and the dismissal of large numbers of workers in the private sector."
    Al-Shammari added, in his interview with Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed, that "job opportunities are completely absent, except after the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, so that most employers, especially in the capital, Baghdad, refuse to employ underlined workers in their homes for fear of transmitting the Corona virus." 
    The suffering is evident with the daily wage earners and the difficulty in obtaining a job opportunity, adding to it the economic, social and psychological pressures that have burdened the Iraqi workers.
    In Shorja Market, one of the most famous wholesale markets in central Baghdad, hundreds of young people are wandering from one store to another and from market to market in search of a job opportunity after their previous interests were disrupted by the outbreak of the Corona pandemic.
    In an interview with Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, citizen Muhammad Al-Aqidi says: I was working in a restaurant in the capital, Baghdad, before the owner of the restaurant laid off more than 50% of the workers, and I was among them. He did not get a job opportunity to provide a living for himself and his family, and
    he added, “Most of those whose jobs are disrupted are from the toiling working class,” indicating that their living conditions do not allow them to sit in homes because of financial obligations. Iraq is going from bad to worse. "
    Earlier, the Iraqi government had taken several measures to limit the spread of the Corona pandemic and avoid an increase in the number of infections, as these measures included closing many sites, to ensure that there is no mixing and transmission of infection, such as restaurants, cafes and parks, which prompted some of them to reduce the number of workers.
    In this context, President of the Iraqi Workers Union, Walid Nehme, told Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed that “the Corona pandemic and the high exchange rate of the dollar had a clear and significant impact on the Iraqi workers’ segment, ”noting that“ Iraqi workers on the anniversary of their annual holiday suffer from the absence of insurance Health and social security that guarantees their rights. "
    He added that "the Iraqi government forced many workers to beg, as a result of neglecting this segment, which is one of the largest and most oppressed segments of Iraq."
    He pointed out that "the trade union has made great efforts until its voice is heard, as a result of its demand for the rights of Iraqi workers and the provision of job opportunities that allow them to live a decent life, but the political chaos has cast a shadow on union work," stressing that "the union cannot fulfill its true role unless it is available." It has a real legal cover. "
    For his part, a member of the Workers' Union, Ali Al-Jawary, told Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed that “tens of thousands of workers in the public and private sectors have been severely affected by the suspension of jobs as a result of measures related to confronting the Coronavirus, as well as the resort of various companies and sectors in the country to reduce the number of workers. It has reached record proportions due to losses incurred by it, in addition to large cuts to workers' salaries in most professions.

    He added that "the deterioration of the living conditions of most Iraqi workers as a result of the damage caused by the health and economic crisis that the country is going through, which led to the layoff of thousands of workers from their work, does not allow congratulations to be given to them on Labor Day," stressing that "the Ministry of Labor will proceed in the coming days with the retirement and insurance law Social Security to ensure all their social and health rights.
