The last few weeks have not been kind to workers in Pakistan. Following the fire at the shipbreaking yard a month ago, injured workers and families of those who died have not yet received any compensation. The 1,500 workers employed at the PepsiCo plant in Lahore are still fighting for secure jobs and the right to collectively bargain. In another manufacturing company, Schneider Electric, 17 workers were instantly dismissed for demanding a wage rise. Just this week, over 60 workers of the luxury Quetta Serena Hotel, were arrested for holding a gathering outside the hotel premises in support of their right to bargain.
