Observed on ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฌ๐ญ, Labour Day pays tribute to the strength, dedication, and sacrifices of workers who are the backbone of every society. It reminds us that true progress is built on the honest efforts of the working class.
A Brief History:
Labour Day traces back to the ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ค๐๐ญ ๐๐๐๐๐ข๐ซ of 1886 in Chicago, where workers demanded an 8-hour workday. Though the protest turned violent, it led to major labor reforms and became a global symbol of workersโ rights.
Why It Matters:
Labour Day highlights:
1. The ongoing fight for fair wages
2. Safe, dignified working conditions
3. Recognition of every workerโs value
Itโs a time to appreciate the unseen efforts of those who build, clean, care, and serve daily.
๐๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ค๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง:
Recognized since 1972, Labour Day in Pakistan is marked by rallies and awareness efforts. Yet, many challenges persist:
1. Informal labor lacks protection.
2. Minimum wage laws are often unmet.
3. Women and child workers remain vulnerable.
This day urges all of us to stand for fair employment, equal rights, and respect for every worker, regardless of their role. Letโs build a future where no worker is left behind.
