The Islamic Labor Party ( Persian: حزب اسلامی کار, romanized: Hezb-e Eslâmi-ye Kâr) is a reformist party in Iran and splinter group to the trade union Worker House. [3]
A supporter of Mohammad Khatami’s reform program, [3] it is reportedly based on a platform of socially oriented programs and "protecting the rights of the workers and laborers". [1]
The party has been described as either "Islamic left" [6] [7] [8] [9] or centrist [10] within Iranian political spectrum. It is also classified as associated with the "republican right" faction, which deals with a platform on modernization and economic growth rather than social justice, along with the Moderation and Development Party and the Executives of Construction Party. [11] The latter is considered a historic ally of the party. [1]
Members
From 1985 to 2001, the party members Abolghasem Sarhadizadeh and Hossein Kamali held office as the Minister of Labour and Social Affairs. [3] Current Minister of Cooperatives, Labour, and Social Welfare, Ali Rabiei holds office since 2013 is also a member of the party. The party members have also been representatives of Parliament of Iran. [3]
