Expressing solidarity with the protesting workers of the Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM) and the Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda), the National Labour Council (NLC) had demanded of the government to call off its privatisation programme.
In a joint meeting of the NLC held at the Pakistan Institute of Labour Education and Research (Piler) Centre on Friday evening, the participants expressed serious concerns over delay in the hearing of a petition of workers in Balochistan regarding banning of trade unions in state-owned organisations.
Khan Zaman of the Balochistan Labour Federation said the Balochistan High Court had imposed a ban on 62 trade unions in the government entities without any justification.
