Worker­s say they had to report to work like regula­r daysISLAMABAD: For many in the country, Tuesday was a holiday to mark World Labour Day. However, apart from labourers, all segments of the society observed the day. Moreover, in more than 90 countries, including Pakistan, May Day is an official public holiday, and workers should have the day off. Most people know May 1 as a Labour Day, a global holiday that commemorates the working class and organised labour around the world. Like previous years, this International workers’ day also did not bring about any specific change in the routine lives of the blue-collar workers except empty promises of a prosperous life.
