Abstract

Due to its economic-legal nature, litigation in labor law has special requirements; Because the government in regulating labor-employer relations, as well as the broad economic effects on labor rights, requires the need to design a judicial system for economic growth and the survival of both groups. ILO has set norms and rules in this area that can guide countries. In addition, it is necessary to use preventive experiences in regulating labor relations (including the United States) to improve the judicial system in the country; but how we can make a use of them. The authors have started with a descriptive-analytical method and a comparative approach to enumerate the norms of the ILO in the field of labor litigation (in three areas of using alternative dispute resolution, specific principles of collective litigation and principles of mutual participation). How to implement these norms in Iran and the United States are examined. In the United States, special attention has been paid to the first two norms, that in Iran it is faces several weaknesses. The implementation of the third norm in Iran is also better than the United States.
