Pakistan Government has announced a public holiday on 1st May to celebrate Labour Day and honor the laborers for their hard work. Government and private offices, factories and educational institutes will remain closed for the day. However, laborers can work on Labor Day for normal or high wages as per their needs.
Celebrating Labour Day
Labour day (or Labor Day) is celebrated all over the world, including Pakistan, to recognize the efforts of laborers or workers in the country. Labour unions organize seminars, parades and rallies where union leaders give speeches about the importance of Labor Day. In their speeches, they also ask the government to raise laborers’ wages and provide more rights and better benefits to the labor community.
If you plan to go out on Labour Day and travel in public buses then you should check with the local transport authorities before getting on a bus. Because many routes are changed due to the Labour Union rallies and other events taking place at main streets and avenues in your city. Therefore, there is a great possibility of traffic jams at some places at different times of the day.
