Iran - National Guild Day
National Guild Day in Iran is an official professional holiday celebrated on June 22 (the 1st of Tir in the Iranian calendar, also known as the Solar Hijri calendar). It was established to emphasize the role of guilds in the country’s economic development and political life.
The activities of guilds, trade unions, and other trade and industry associations in the Islamic Republic of Iran are regulated by the Iranian Chamber of Guilds. The Chamber is an association of guilds that was formed to provide a single organization for managing the affairs of Iran’s numerous guilds, to establish state control over guilds, and to collect information and statistics of their activities. It represents the interests of the guilds and serves as a link between them and the authorities.
