    First Labour Policy 1955

    Uploaded by

    Salman Rashid Malghani
    This document outlines five labour policies introduced in Pakistan between 1955-2002 under different political regimes. The first policy in 1955 focused on encouraging genuine trade unions and collective bargaining. The 1959 policy aimed to promote healthy unionism. The 1969 policy created an environment for productivity and union growth. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's 1972 policy had socialist goals of increasing wages and union rights. The final 2002 policy emphasized dignity of labour and social dialogue. Each policy varied in the goals, legislation introduced and outcomes, with most failing to achieve their stated objectives due to inadequate enforcement.
