Separately, according to Radio Pakistan, Senate Chairman Yusuf Raza Gilani declared that the government fully recognized the “significant role” that laborers and workers play in the advancement of the country. He mentioned that May 1st is observed globally as a sign of the “dedication to upholding and safeguarding labor rights.”
The chairman of the Senate emphasized the government’s initiatives to enhance working conditions for employees, emphasizing the enforcement of labor laws and the defense of employee rights. Given the country’s high inflation rate and dismal economic outlook, Pakistani workers have little to be happy about on Labor Day. In Pakistan, trade unions have never been very popular, and currently, very few employees are members of unions. Too many workers perform dangerous jobs without the proper safety precautions in place in case something goes wrong. Although worldwide unions and activists have significantly improved the textile industry, there are still gaps in other sectors. To honor laborers, some governmental and private organizations are planning marches, walks, conferences, and seminars today, according to Radio Pakistan.
