Labor day is being celebrated all over the world including Pakistan today, poverty, unemployment, inflation and low wages are the major problems of labor in today’s era.
137 years ago today, in 1886, local workers in the city of Chicago, USA, protested against the capitalists against low wages and demanded an 8-hour working day and went on a complete strike.
Meanwhile, putting brakes on the industrial wheel, the workers demanded that we want 8 hours of work, 8 hours of rest and 8 hours to spend with family.
This demand was legitimate but force was used against the protestors to suppress it, many workers lost their lives and serious cases were established against the labor leaders.
Labor leaders in Pakistan say that millions of workers working in the private sector still do not have access to social security, including health facilities, and the minimum wage announcement by the government is not being implemented.
Chairman Railway Workers Union says that the labor leaders demand that legislation cannot be passed in the interests of the workers without the representation of the workers in the Senate including the national and provincial assemblies and all the political parties should allocate specific seats for the workers. will
