The Lose-Lose Game for the Iranian Workers: A Critical Evaluation of the Proposed Draft of Labour Law in Iran
Mohammad Maljoo

This paper is a critique of the new labour laws that have been proposed in Iran in 2006. Even though popular demands for better working conditions and reducing unemployment formed the basis of the coming to power of the current government in Iran, the labour law reforms proposed follow a neo-liberal line of thought. Under the new rules, hire-and-fire is sought to be introduced in Iran in the name of improving efficiency and long term investment, while associations of workers is strictly state governed under Islamic laws which means there is very little scope of political resistance to exploitation.
