Pakistan Bhatta Mazdoor Union General Secretary Mahmood Ahmad Butt has urged the government to get registered all the Bhatta (brick kilns) so that rights of brick kiln workers could be safeguarded.
While addressing a press conference here on Thursday, he said the kiln workers must be given wages commensurate with price hike. "If their demands were not accepted, countrywide protest campaign would be launched", he warned.
Butt said the Bhatta owners were even violating basic human rights by compelling workers to work against their will. Wages were not being paid to the workers in time, he added. He further said that making advance payment to kiln workers by Bhatta owners is against the decision of Federal Shariah Court. He said that Bhatta Mazdoor were leading miserable lives due to 'cruel attitude' of the Bhatta owner towards them.
