The Workers' Party (Arabic: حزب العمال, translit. Ḥizb el-‘Umāl; French: Parti des travailleurs), is a Marxist-Leninist political party in Tunisia. Legalized only in 2011, it participates in the Popular Front coalition, which is represented in the Assembly of the Representatives of the People. The party's long-term leader is general secretary Hamma Hammami.
Founded in 1986, the party was known as the Tunisian Workers' Communist Party (Arabic: حزب العمال الشيوعي التونسي, translit. Ḥizb el-‘Umāl esh-Shyū‘ī et-Tūnsī; French: Parti communiste des ouvriers de Tunisie, PCOT) until 2012. After the rename it remained a member of the Hoxhaist International Conference of Marxist–Leninist Parties and Organizations (Unity & Struggle).
The party was outlawed until the Tunisian Revolution, when in a failed attempt to shore up the state framework it and another banned party were invited to participate in a National Unity government. Subsequently the party and other opposition elements refused this attempt to co-opt the ongoing revolution by installing a government composed at its senior levels by associates of the former regime.
