The failure to enforce minimum wage rules is one of the most urgent problems facing Pakistan’s workforce, and the Pakistan Institute of Labour Education and Research (PILER) held a seminar on Wednesday to address this issue as workers throughout the world observe International Labor Day.
A coalition of international labor activists, government representatives, and trade unionists gathered at the Karachi Press Club to discuss practical ways to safeguard worker rights in the face of economic volatility. The event, which was conducted by PILER’s Joint Director Abbas Haider, was devoted to the memory of Karamat Ali, the organization’s founding director, whose unwavering support of workers’ rights has inspired the organization’s mission and labor movements throughout her life.
against the backdrop of depreciating currency and skyrocketing inflation, which have reduced the purchasing power of workers.
