Sindh industries challenge minimum wage hike to Rs25,000
July 29, 2021
KARACHI: Sindh industries, especially from Karachi, have stood up against the provincial government’s decision to increase minimum wage from Rs17,500 to Rs25,000, warning of mass closures due to cost spikes, a statement said on Wednesday.
“The decision has been taken without following the laws in place and does not conform to the provisions of provincial wage act and ILO’s (International Labour Organization) minimum wages fixation convention 1970,” said a joint statement issued by the trade bodies of the province.
“This move has deprived the industries of Sindh from level-playing field not only locally but also globally, making them uncompetitive and unviable to operate because of a high cost of manufacturing as wage is its major component.”
