The Workers' House (Persian: خانه کارگر) is the Iranian de facto[4] national trade union center affiliated with the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) and a registered reformist worker's political organization/labor union.[5] It oversees and coordinates activities of Islamic Labour Councils.[4]
Formed in 1958 by union of some workers' guilds, the union has been historically a worker wing affiliated with various parties.[5] In 1981, it was dominated by Islamist workers.[3]
In 1998, Worker’s House stated that ⅓ of Iranian workers were its members, however there is no independent verification for this claim.[3]
International Labour Organization (ILO) recognizes the dependence of the union on the government.[4] After confrontation with Government of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the union has been losing its state-supported status.[3]
The union also operates the Iranian Labour News Agency (ILNA) since 2002 with an aim to 'inform dissemination for the tioling stratum of labourers, and with justice-centered discourse as its motto'. Work and Worker daily is also published by Ali Rabiei, a key member.[6]
