Abstract
Despite the sacrifices and protests made by Iranian workers in their civil movement and efforts to promote their union rights, they have performed poorly in Iran's contemporary history for many reasons. Of course, they played an important role in the victory of the Islamic Revolution by participating in numerous strikes and protests. However, the labor movement in the form of labor unions and parties never really took root. Therefore, the present study, using a descriptive-analytical method, raises the question: What factors and challenges have prevented the effective and efficient organizational, structural, and legal influence of labor movements and institutions on Iran's economic policies during the years 1370-1400? Our hypothetical answer to this question is that labor movements and organizations, given their minimal impact on their livelihood and financial fields, ultimately failed to have much impact on the government's economic policies during the years 1370-1400. Thus, the main goal of this research is to identify the obstacles and challenges of labor movements in influencing Iran's economic policies during these years.
