Labour Day: Sanjrani seeks promise of good life for hard workers.

ISLAMABAD: To commemorate Labour Day, Senate Chairman Muhammad Sadiq Sanjrani, on Wednesday, expressed hope for Pakistan to soon experience progress in the standard of living of the labour class.

In his special message, Sanjrani called for a mechanism to consistently and regularly increase the minimum wages of skilled and unskilled labourers to add to the lives in view of the soaring inflation rates.

Senate Chairman observed that Labour Day was an international holiday honouring the struggles of the working class and the efforts of labour unions.

There were said to be a number of issues needed to be addressed.

He resolved to provide for a decent life worth living for the labourers.

The chairman noted that providing a one-day holiday was not an apt tribute to our labourers. Yet, he called it an attempt to reaffirm our commitment and resolve for progress in our country.
