Abstract:

The research, which is written using the approach of historical sociology and descriptive and analytical methods, examines the interactions of trade unions after the Islamic Revolution. The examinations show that the first trade unions or trade unions emerged in England in the early eighteenth century. In Iran, too, the tendency towards trade unions is related to the years before the Constitutional Revolution. The workers' councils, which were the achievement of the workers at the beginning of the Islamic Revolution, were dissolved one after another and replaced by trade unions with the approval of the legal bills of the Islamic Labor Councils. In the decisions of the industrial centers after the revolution, why were their plans dissolved, willingly or unwillingly, after one (the workers' council)? The hypothesis of this article also seems to weaken and exclude independent trade unions, despite the very decisive role of workers' organizational power during the Islamic Revolution, the internal weakness of the working class, the passage of labor law, and the critical conditions of the imposed war. The councils have not been very successful in achieving their tasks and goals in the interests of workers' rights and the realization of social justice.

This hypothesis is crucial because: (i) the results are not robust to its removal; (ii) the justifications provided to support it are not without problems. The paper raises the issue, critic...

Labour mobility, union immobility? Trade unions & migration in the EU

The paper discusses the interactions between trade unions and migrants in the case of intra-EU migration following the EU enlargement eastwards. Against representations of unions as insiders’ exclusionary organisations, it will point at the rich evidence of cooperation within unions and migrants. In the case of the EU, it is argued, unions have particular incentives to organise migrants rather ...
