Lahore, January 7: A meeting of representatives of trade unions organized by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) has deplored the lack of regard for labour rights and international conventions while adopting new labour laws following the transfer of the subject to the provinces under the 18th Amendment.
The labour representatives took exception to the provision of the 18th Amendment that abolished the system of labour legislation at the national level, a provision they have already challenged in the Supreme Court.
