Iran no longer on ILO blacklist

After presenting documented reports on compliance with the International Labor Organization (ILO) standards and agreements, the International Labor Conference held in Geneva, has removed Iran from the list of nations violating labor laws.

Australia will "go on trial" at the conference, alongside countries including Burma, Saudi Arabia and Nepal, over it's proposed industrial reforms. I guess little mention will be made of yesterdays $17 per week pay rise, bringing the minimum weekly wage to $484.40.
