Labour in Pakistan

Quotes

Only up to 3pc of Pakistan's labour force is unionised, and there are few opportunities for collective bargaining for fair wages or safe working conditions. The Balochistan High Court last year banned 62 labour unions in the province. The disregard for labour rights will take on new dimensions during a pandemic, when workers should have ample rights to demand safe working conditions and job protection in the event of sickness.
