protection of human dignity of working people. which is the main force driving the country’s economy and is given importance but try to help the capitalists Affected business owners from the draft labor protection bill by overturning the draft law in the first session,’ said Mr. Xia.
Mr. Zia said that overturning this law This may be because of the opposing political factions that want to destroy the reputation and confidence of the working class of the Progressive Party. Regardless of how the content of this law will benefit the quality of life of workers. This law does not touch the military, institutions, or authoritarian sides. But the exchange in online society And as far as we can see, many human resources executives who are in charge of administration still agree with this bill.
