Awami Workers Party response on budget

We reject Minimum wage increase for workers from12000 to 13000, Awami Workers Party demands a minimum wage of RS 25000, per month for unskilled workers , in budget concessions offered to capitalists class whiles workers ignored completely, never in history 7.5% wage increase was offered by any government, it was at least 10%,

• Relief in Air travel for Gilgit Beltistan in budget is for election purpose, to be held on 8 June, Election Commission must take notice
• Stop exploitation of youth with master degree with only 12000 per month; on name of internship, raise that to least 25000 Rupees a month.
•  7.5% Pension increase for public sector employees is absolutely not accepted, raise that to at least 25%
•  We don’t need health insurance but free health facilities. More public sector hospital, more doctors & para medical staff with decent wages, raise the minimum expenditure of national budget on health to at least 5 percent of GDP instead of present less than one percent.
• 100 % wages increase for federal secretaries, 7.5% wage increase for workers is a shameful act of PMLN.
•  Class based budget, in favour of capitalists, feudal and multi national companies, against working class expectations,

We reject the budget as a whole, this is a pro capitalist, pro imperialist budget.

AWP will launch a movement along working class trade unions to change the periodontics of this budget in favour of working class
