Vali Rostami Professor of Public Law, Department of Public law, Faculty of Law and Political Science, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran Journal Article 2020 09 26 Labor litigation, considering its economic-legal nature, has its own specific requirements. Government intervention in regulating the relationship between workers and employers, as well as the extensive economic impacts of labor law, necessitate the design of a litigation system aimed at fostering economic growth and ensuring the continuation of both groups. The International Labour Organization (ILO) has articulated norms and rules in this area that can guide countries. Additionally, it is essential to draw on the experiences of leading countries in regulating labor relations (including the United States) to improve our country's labor litigation system. Therefore, the question arises: how can the stated norms be utilized to enhance our country's labor litigation system? The authors, using a descriptive-analytical method and a comparative approach, have initially attempted to identify the ILO's norms regarding labor litigation (in three areas: the use of alternative dispute resolution methods, specific principles of collective claims, and principles related to the participation of the parties) and examine how these norms are implemented in both Iran and the United States. In the US, the first two factors benefit from the extensive use of alternative dispute resolution methods and mechanisms for settling collective claims, which can help address the weaknesses in the Iranian labor litigation system. However, this does not adequately guarantee the third norm namely, the participation of the parties. Labor litigation, considering its economic-legal nature, has its own specific requirements.
