KARACHI, May 27: The All Pakistan Trade Unions' Organisation on Sunday demanded of the government to fix minimum monthly wages of unskilled labours at Rs10,000.
In a joint statement, APTUO office-bearers slated economic policies of the present government, adding prices of daily-use commodities were soaring, but the rulers had turned a blind eye towards this critical situation.
They said that in such a situation, minimum wages of Rs4,000 per month was a cruel joke. They demanded of the government to revise it in the upcoming budget and fix it at Rs10,000 a month.—PPI
