ULF for ensuring workers\\\' basic rights

The leaders of United Labour Federation (ULF) demanded ensuring workers' basic rights and social security ahead of the International Labour Day.

Their other demands include ensuring a rational wage structure, trade union rights, workplace safety and decent work for the country's all sections of workers, said a press release.

Abul Hossain, president of the ULF, said currently women were working in different informal sectors. But there is a lack of necessary organisations or movement to raise voice to protect their rights and dignity.

He demanded recognising the household work as economic activities and also necessary legal frameworks for protecting workers' dignity and overall interest.
