‘Concept of labour rights is in accordance with Quran and Hadith’ Karachi May 16, 2021 Less than one per cent of the labour force in Pakistan has formed unions, which shows that our labour is not organised. The lack of trade unions and collective bargaining agents has been attributed to religion for some strange reason as people are confused about it. Karamat Ali, labour activist and the executive director of the Pakistan Institute of Labour Education and Research (Piler), said this during a webinar titled ‘Labour Rights in Islam: Modern Relevance in Pakistan?’ organised by the Ziauddin Centre for Human Rights, Faculty of Law, Ziauddin University.
