 Well, my dear students, the course is Labour Policy Pakistan and the topic in hand is Introduction to Sin Labour Policy 2018. My dear students, the Sin government has, as a matter of fact, announced that it has become the first provincial government to present a tripartite Labour policy after the 18th Amendment in the Constitution of Pakistan 1973. My dear students, at the ceremony of unveiling the policy at a press conference on Saturday, Sin Minister for Information, Labour, Human Resources, Transport and Mass Transit, Mr Nasser Hussain Shah said, the policy is for Labourers that are the most repressed segment of our society, but it is also friendly to investment so that both employees and employers benefit with balance. This is the main objective of this very policy. My dear students, the policy is, as a matter of fact, right, rights-based participatory and inclusive policy, set the minister while presenting the Labour Policy 2018. My dear students, the Sin Labour Policy focuses to ensure health and safety at work, along with guaranteeing living wages for all. In order to facilitate and monitor the implementation of laws, the ministry will set up a Provincial Health and Safety Council. My dear students, the policy states that Labourers in the agriculture and mining industries will be brought under the Labour legislation and provided the same protection as other workers. Moreover, the policy focuses that the Labour laws are mostly male-centric, but this policy will also address equal opportunities and equal remoderation in line with the International Labour Organization conventions. The Labour Policy 2018 will ensure that children get the minimum wage along with access to education and training tailored for them is the main objective of this very policy. The policy states that bonded labour will be abolished. In all its forms, all restrictive provisions on trade union formation will be removed in accordance with the ILO conventions 87 and 98. My dear students, the Sin Labour Policy 2018 states that the government also plans to strengthen the Sin Minimum Wages Board so that with the help of the existing tripartite, it can protect minimum wages in the province. My dear students, the policy also looks to extend the scope and coverage of Sin Employees Social Security Act 2015 and Sin Workers Welfare Fund Act 2015 to all formal, informal contract, peace rate, home-based and seasonal workers in all sectors of the economy.
