Iranian labor law describes the rules of employment in Iran. As a still developing country, with an authoritarian government, Iran is considerably behind by international standards. It has failed to ratify the two basic Conventions of the International Labor Organization on freedom of association and collective bargaining, and one on abolition of child labor. Countries such as the US and India have also failed to ratify many of these Conventions and a mere 14 other Conventions, only 2 since the Islamic Revolution.
The basic sources of Iranian labor law are,
- The Constitutions and its amendments (1906, 1907, and 1979)
- Civil laws "Ghanon Madani"
- Council of Ministers and Ministry of Labor decrees and procedures (Aein Nameh)
- Judiciary verdicts and cases
- Collective bargaining contracts and agreement
- Common practices and occupational norms
- International Labor Organization (ILO)
- ILO Conventions
- ILO Recommendations
- Other international declarations and agreement

“The poor, stupid, free American citizen! Free to starve, free to tramp the highways of this great country, he enjoys universal suffrage, and by that right, he has forged chains around his limbs. The reward that he receives is stringent labor laws prohibiting the right of boycott, of picketing, of everything, except the right to be robbed of the fruits of his labor.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“I’ve studied now Philosophy
And Jurisprudence, Medicine—
And even, alas! Theology—
From end to end with labor keen;
And here, poor fool! with all my lore
I stand, no wiser than before.”
