The present government was committed to ensuring the benefits of economic progress translated into prosperity for all sections of the population, particularly the labourers and workers, he said.
PM Shehbaz further stated that international workers’ day reminds us of the sacrifices of the workers who laid down their lives while waging a relentless struggle for their rights.
“Our great religion, Islam, emphasises the principles of social justice, equity and respect for the rights of the people. Allah Almighty and the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) have ordered us to fulfill the rights of the workers and not be lax in the performance of this core duty,” the premier was quoted saying.
He said they found numerous inspiring examples of the dignity of labourers and respect for the rights of the working class in the life of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
The government has raised the minimum wage for employees from Rs17,500 to Rs25,000 per month, according to PM Shehbaz, in light of the high rates of inflation and other economic difficulties.
In order to ensure transparency and reduce delays in providing relief to the labourers and workers, he added, the government also aimed to develop automated, integrated systems for workers’ welfare institutions.
