Al-Ghadeer TV (Badr Organization — official) posted on the morning of 20 August that a demonstration was sweeping Baghdad, with employees demanding the unified salary scale. Visual review of the accompanying footage shows a daytime crowd with Iraqi flags and banners calling for a fair and comprehensive wage for all public-sector workers and for the operation of national industries, with a textile and leather workers' union banner visible; the frames carry no date and the exact site is not established. No other collected channel carried the protest in this window.

“A demonstration sweeps Baghdad: employees raise red lines demanding the 'unified salary scale.'”
تظاهرة تجتاح بغداد: الموظفون يرفعون الخطوط الحمراء للمطالبة بـ "السلم الموحد"
Watch: a Badr Organization statement or a Badr parliamentary voice endorsing the unified salary scale; Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) or Al-Ittijah TV (KH — official) picking up the same protest; the outlet naming the finance ministry or the government as responsible; or a second Al-Ghadeer post escalating the wording — any of these moves this file.
