The Islamic Labor Party (Persian: حزب اسلامی کار) is a reformist party in Iran and splinter group to the trade union Worker House.
A supporter of Mohammad Khatami’s reform program, it is reportedly based on a platform of socially oriented programs and "protecting the rights of the workers and laborers".
The party has beed described as either "Islamic left" or centrist 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. The latter is considered a historic ally of the party.
From 1985 to 2001, the party members Abolghasem Sarhadizadeh and Hossein Kamali held office as the Minister of Labour and Social Affairs. 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.
