HYDERABAD, Aug 4: The All Pakistan Trade Unions' Organization has accused the management of the Indus Jute Mills, Dhabeji, of violating labour laws.

They said the workers had also not been issued appointment letters and attendance cards. They said the attitude of the mill management had created resentment among the workers.

The organization leaders demanded that the government should ensure that the employees were provided with their legal rights.
