This issue contains a special report from the International Labour Organisation on Iranian violations of workers rights.

ILO ANNUAL SURVEY OF VIOLATIONS OF TRADE UNION RIGHTS: IRAN.

Protest activity: Despite the ban on strikes, workers protests and other work stoppages are a daily occurrence throughout Iranian enterprises. They are often repressed.

The minimum wage set by the government is $US 140 per month, while the official poverty line stands at $US 300. Nearly two million workers have not been paid - some for nearly two years. read full story / add a comment

Despite this Argos are refusing workers a 10 % pay rise, which would bring hourly rates to 9.90 euro. The cost of importing strike breakers is greater for Argos than the pay increase sought by the workers. However the prize for the company in winning this battle would be to break the power of the worker's union in Argos" read full story / add a comment
