WASA’S DAILY WAGERS FOR PROVISION OF OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED MINIMUM WAGE

Daily wage employees of the Wa­ter and Sanitation Authority (WASA) demanded of provision of minimum wages Rs 32,000 as per announce­ment of Punjab government.

Led by Union leader Munir Hans, the demonstration witnessed the en­thusiastic participation of scores of workers who have been yearning for job security over the past six years.

The protestors were carrying ban­ners and placards inscribed with particular demands. Addressing the gathering, Munir Hans, accompanied by speakers Muhammad Kaleem Butt and Kamran Nazir, expressed deep concern over the persistent lack of permanent employment, a situation that casts a constant shadow of un­employment over their lives.

Despite the provincial government officially endorsing a minimum wage of Rs 32,000, the workers are still awaiting their rightful compensation, lamented Hans.
