Labour laws

Published January 21, 2020

LABOUR is the backbone of any nation. In Pakistan, labour is the most oppressed class. They work hard for the country to uplift its economy but in turn they do not get enough to live a satisfied life.

The government should amend labour laws and fix daily wage at Rs1,000, that becomes Rs30,000 per month.

Besides, working hours in factories should be reduced from 12 hour to eight for those who work in public or private factories.
