Fulfilling labour rights & making people shareholders in the system remains a fundamental challenge for global economy: PM Shehbaz

ISLAMABAD, May 01 (SABAH): Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has said that while we pay rich tributes to the working classes and celebrate their contributions today, the fact is that the disruption in global markets has led to a severe cost of living crisis.

In a statement issued on the occasion of International Labour Day on twitter on Monday, PM Shehbaz Sharif said that together with increase in commodity prices, the working people find themselves under tremendous stress.

He said that the edifice of material development that stands on the foundation of hard work will come crumbling if those who made it possible are excluded from its benefits.

PM Shehbaz Sharif said that fulfilling the labour rights and making people shareholders in the system remains a fundamental challenge for the global economy.
