Resolution

We hold that in our country, the overall picture of the human and trade union rights situation has been remained grim since birth of Pakistan. Violations have been continued to occur, ranging from total denial of freedom of Association to a gradual undermining of these rights or from imposing administrative restrictions, infringements and attacks on union and attacks on union, whatever specific form these violations took they from were all aimed at preventing union defending the interests of their members an from playing a constructive role in economic, social and educational development.

It is an admitted fact that in our country where workers have been given the right of freedom to establish trade union organization, while this right frequently has not been applying top teachers but only to workers in private sector, although the teachers’ do have the right to organize associations vide govt. servant conducts rules 1991 (28) but their to collective bargaining and to strike actions has been often restricted in these rules.

Different government’ efforts to keep a firm grip on the teaching profession, however often led not only to violations of teachers’ trade union right, but also to restriction on teachers academic freedom and basic civil rights.
