\"\" — The Italian Labor Union (UIL) statement declaring solidarity with Iranian workers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
On the occasion of International Workers\u2019 Day, the Italian Labor Union(UIL<\/a>), one of the country\u2019s largest trade unions representing over two million members, has expressed strong support for the labor movement in Iran. In a statement issued by its Marche regional branch on April 29, 2025, UIL denounced the long-standing repression of Iranian workers under both the former monarchy and the current clerical regime.<\/p>\n
Established in 1950 and affiliated with the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), UIL criticized the Iranian regime for its continued violations of International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions. Despite Iran being a signatory to multiple ILO agreements, the union noted that basic worker protections remain absent. \u201cThere is no legal or institutional safeguard for even the most basic workers\u2019 rights in Iran,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n
