Abstract
The issue of labor movements in the oil industry has been one of the most important issues and at the same time the challenges facing this industry in its history of the last two centuries. The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, had a wide range & scope of activity from Iraq to Oman. The company's relationship with workers and interact with the problems of the modern era and the extent to which they benefit from social and labor rights, and at the same time the nature of the relationship between the workers' communities involved in the company's activities throughout the region, is an issue that has received less attention so far due to the lack of documents and resources. The fundamental question in this context is what was the nature of the relations between the oil industry workers in the form of the labor community of the countries of the Persian Gulf and the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company? The prevailing assumption is that although there were signs of a connection between the labor community in the oil-rich areas of southern Iran and the company's area of activity on the southern shores of the Persian Gulf, there are signs of behavioral disintegration between the employees of the oil companies of the Persian Gulf and the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company and their workers. The research method in the present study will be descriptive-analytical. That is, first we will describe and explain the issue under discussion and finally we will analyze and explain its dimensions and angles.
