30
years celebrations of PILER
May 1, 2012 – Dec 2012 |
Activities:
The idea behind marking the thirty years of PILER is
to promote a focused discussion on labour issues in the mainstream
covering not only the existing challenges but also the processes that
shaped the labour struggles over the years and how national, regional
and international influences impacted the direction charted by the
workers in their struggle for equal rights. It was therefore important
to design activities that adequately covered the diverse content planned
and also cut across mainstream mediums of communication to reach a
wider audience.
The thirty years will be marked by way of a series of public interactions,
seminars, conferences, cultural activities including performances,
mushaira (poetry recital), audio-visual exhibits, and production and
launch of publications, all focusing on workers. The broader objective
is to highlight the struggle of labour movement in Pakistan, its achievements
and gaps and the lessons learnt; reflect on the impact of the emerging
world order on labour; and consult on strategizing the movement in
the age where neo-liberalism, despite suffering a setback, is seeking
to re-assert itself.
