Pakistani labour group chief asks govt to ensure implementation of minimum wage demand
Islamabad: Muttahida Labour Federation (MLF) provincial president Mohammad Iqbal has asked the government to take strict action against those industries and organizations which are not paying the minimum wage of Rs 21,000 to the workers as per the official notification.
He made the remarks while chairing a meeting of the federation held in the Premier Sugar Mills, Mardan.
Participants of the meeting discussed the problems being faced by them and shared their opinions for possible solutions, reports Dawn News.
Iqbal told reporters as quoted by Dawn News that it had become difficult for the workers and labourers to manage their expenses in view of the rising prices of essential commodities.
He pointed out that it was an injustice with them to make conditional their facilities and privileges with the certificates of 2 per cent under the Workers Welfare Fund Ordinance and 5 per cent under the Workers Participation Act.
