Explain the Iranian government's stand on the formation of labor groups and labor laws

What will be an ideal response?


Since the 1950s, Iranian labor groups have asserted their rights to form unions
or syndicates. Inasmuch as the Iranian constitution protects workers' rights, the
constitution also states its "fierce" opposition to communism, which, it maintains, is at
odds with Islamic values. In theory, workers in Iran have the right to form labor unions,
but no system of recognition or protection for unions exists. In addition to the Labor
Law, workers' councils, in the spirit of an Islamic council, started to form soon after the
revolution. This system, along with most unions, was disbanded in 1985. A private
sector growth and liberalization program began in the early 1990s, which gave greater
license to employers to issue workers' contracts, including short?term and temporary.
Today, the government endorses a system of individual rather than collective
bargaining. As a result, workers who have attempted to roll back or protest the
government's liberalization have been met with severe police repression.
