 Well, my dear students, the course is Labour Policy Pakistan and the topic is Pakistan Tripartite Labour Conference and Standing Labour Committees. My dear students, following the devolution of matters concerning Labour legislation and administration to the provinces, the four provinces have each promulgated Industrial Relations Acts between 2010 and 2015. In addition, the provinces each established their respective provincial, tripartite, consultive committees, which are known as PTCCs. And the committees that were created between August and September 2014, following that of a federal, tripartite, consultive committee, which is known as FTCCC. Government reports that three of the provinces, PTCCs, Choke provinces, Balochistan, Punjab and Sindh have since then provided for a wider representation of employer and worker groups in this regard. The government indicates that the FTCCC and PTCC have discussed the matters required under Article 5 of the Convention of ILO. It adds that since June 2015, the FTCCC has held four meetings. The committee noted that the Khabar Pakhtunkhwa, PTCC and the Punjab PTCC have each held four meetings. While the Balochistan PTCC and the Sindh PTCC have held two and three meetings respectively, my dear students. My dear students, the government provides information on national labour law and policy matter discussed during the different FTCCC and PTCC meetings, some of which are related to implementation of international labour standards. My dear students, you are aware that the tripartite social dialogue here, it is considered to be a key component of smooth industrial relations and productive economy in a country, my dear students. And this process involves consultation, negotiations and consensus on policy issues among three partners or the three partners the state, employers and workers. My dear students, the point to be noted that though the state has established a number of tripartite mechanisms, it does not confer legal authority on these to enforce implementation or recommendations that come out of the meetings. The role of tripartite consultations is not ensured in the constitution nor in a specific law, my dear students. Hope you have understood the topic. Thank you very much indeed.
