TEHRAN, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- Iranian lawmakers on Wednesday refused to give a vote of confidence to Minister of Cooperative, Labor and Welfare Ali Rabiee.
The labor minister was impeached for the second time in less than five months over inefficiencies of his team.
Out of 243 lawmakers, 129 favored his dismissal, 111 opposed the move and three abstained.
Among the criticisms leading to Rabiee's dismissal were those against his mismanagement of "corporate insurance and workers' problems."
