‘PPP committed to protecting workers’ rights’

The PPP is committed to safeguarding the rights of workers and has been delivering in this regard without any discrimination, said Sindh Minister for Information and Labour Syed Nasir Hussain Shah on Monday.

Addressing an oath-taking ceremony of the Peoples Staff Union of the Sindh Employees Social Security Institution, he said the PPP was the only political party where there existed no discrimination on the basis of language, caste or creed.

“The party has always protected the rights of workers without any distinction and will continue to do so in the future as well,” he said. Shah said that under the Sindh Labour Policy announced by the current government, promises had been honoured for protecting all due rights of workers pertaining to both the private and public sectors.

“Emphasis has always been and will remain on making SESSI a facility that benefits the workers at every level, be they from public sector or associated with private entity,” he said.
