JHANG - The businessmen are exploiting poor labours while the Labour Department, Social Security and District Administration have failed to resolve problems being faced by the labour community.
Labour Qaumi Movement (LQM) District President Ch Tanveer Ahmed said this while addressing the participant of a protest rally taken out in front of DCO office here the other day.
The powerlooms workers took out a rally against the skyrocketing prices of essential commodities and aggravating unemployment among workers. He blamed that factory owners closed factories in violation of contract which was signed only two month back between workers and factory owners.
Addressing the rally, the LQM Divisional leader said that imperialists were depriving poor workers of their basic rights.
He said that owners had closed their units fallowing the workers demand for raising wages in the district. He demanded issuance of social security cards to the labours and implementation of Health and Safety Act in powerlooms.
