The Central Council became the most important mass organization of the Communist Party at the time.
Nine unions took part in the founding of the organization; unions organizing textile mill workers (at the sole modern textile mill in Tehran), tailors, municipal employees, construction workers, bakery assistants, bath attendants, shoemakers, pharmacists and printers.
[1] In the year of its foundation the Central Council began publishing a workers newspaper, Haqiqat ('Truth'), as its main organ.
[2][4] Significantly, a major share of the workers and employees organized by the Central Council were Azeris or Armenians.
The organization assisted the setting up of an additional 21 trade unions across the country; in Tehran (cooks, domestic servants, tobacco workers, carpenters, carriage drivers, carpet weavers), Mashad (teachers, tailors, shoemakers, office employees, carpet weavers, confectioners, telegraphers), Rasht (rice cleaners, tobacco workers, porters, teachers), oil workers in the south-west, Isfahan (textile workers), Kerman (carpet weavers) and Enzeli (dockers).
