An expression of Gratitude
Exhaustive working and consultation hours were spent in preparation of Bylaws

with all factions of labour in the party. In the process heads of labour federations
in Pakistan and research organisations were also extensively consulted. While it
was facile to streamline the Labour Wings, the real challenge lay in harmonising
the structure of labour unions that operate under international, federal and
provincial set of rules. Such a coordination and harmonising did not previously
exist that caused constant infightings and interference of different centres of
power within the party.
Special thanks are due to all leaders of labour movements of Pakistan who are not
part of PTI.
Within the party my special thanks to Mr. Sarwar Quraishi, Mr. Mukhtiar Sial, Mr.
Muhammad Rashid Munir, Mr. Sarwan Bheel, Mr. Rana Sami, Mr Tufail Badozia, Mr.
Malik Munir, Mr. Asif Ali, Mr. Raja Shabbir Minhas, Mr. Zain Khilji, Mr. Haroon
Rashid, and Mr. Arshad Sindu.

PREFACE

3
1. Bylaws are being framed in the spirit set by the Constitution of

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf 2019, reflecting the legacy of Founding
Chairman Imran Khan of converting Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf into a
democratic institution to build a Modern Islamic Welfare State.
2. Further, the Bylaws are in conformity with existing federal and
provincial laws and rules and also Pakistan’s obligations under
International Labour Organisation (ILO). These are enunciated in
Constitution of Pakistan, 58 Federal and Provincial Laws, 21
Legislations specific to Labour Codes and 159 Conventions under
International Labour Organisation.
3. It also reflects the aspirations of Pakistan’s working classes that include
labour in formal, informal, contractual and bonded classes and their
struggle since 1947.
4. That despite being an over Over Developed State in legislation of
Labour Codes, the financial and environmental conditions of labour is
far from satisfactory. This is mainly attributable to nexus between
leaders of labour organisations and employers, and lack of regulation
and oversight by governmental organisations, ministries and judicial
system.
5. In the absence of the established democratic traditions in the labour
wings of past, detailed account of organisational structures, powers
and functions is required and the same has been provided even if at
the cost of repetition and procedural details. This includes repetition
of relevant clauses of the party constitution so as to avoid cross
references in the labour bylaws.
6. In structuring this document following principles further to Article 4 in
PTI Constitution have been followed: -
6.1.Adherence to ‘Rule and Spirit of Law’.
6.2. Transparency and effective communication for informed
opinion/decision making.
6.3. Inclusivity and collective decision making, the soul and spirit of
democracy, have been ingrained at every level.
6.4. Devolution of power and robust objective accountability has
been weaved in to instill basic democratic values.
6.5. A great importance has been attached to the continuing
education and training of the members and leaders, alike.
Exclusive training modules will be enacted for labour at every
level.
6.6. To achieve the very best of the practices and performance,
evaluation procedures for all members, leaders, parliamentary
selection boards and all organisations have been carefully laid
down and a new organ Party Management Cell (PMC) will be
coopted for this purpose for Insaf Labour Wing.

4
6.7. To achieve the very best of the practices and performance,

evaluation procedures for all members and leaders of Insaf
Workers Federation and Insaf Labour Unions, a comprehensive
monitoring and evaluation system will be set up with an
exclusive module in party management cell.
6.8. To help improve governance, a continuous research cell shall
function at various levels and parallel labour structures, for
monitoring and feedback at the lower tiers.
6.9. A new cadre of non-constituency leaders is being developed
through incentives to function as the spine of the wing. These
leaders in Insaf Labour Wing will be educated and familiar with
law.
6.10. Merit based procedures for the award of at least 10% tickets to
aspirants of labour organisations will be institutionalised to
bring up the best available candidates and improve the
capacity with each recurring cycle through post-election audit
and review.
7. In the past, there existed a non-functional rift between the political
organisations and office holders of labour unions. This resulted in
continuous infighting that made labour unions ineffective. In order to
harmonise this function, special organisational structures latent to
labour organisations have been framed to ensure a smooth functioning
of the political branch of labour wing at all tiers with labour unions,
federations, confederations and unions so created for informal and
bonded labour.
8. In view of above labour union heads will not be permitted to take
political positions. This does not includes new labour unions so created
in the informal sectors by various tiers of labour wing leaders.
9. A distinction has been drawn in Industrial cum commercial
organisations that function on basis of out sourcing technical services
and untrained contractual labour. This includes multi nationals,
industries, banks, telecom, security companies, agro industries and
others.
10. Labour contractors of the party will not be permitted to create pocket
unions within their business as a matter of ‘conflict of interest’ and
contrary to the fundamental right of ‘freedom of association’. Such
labour contractors will be obliged to promote independent labour
unions and provide evidence if needed.
11. Carry out monitoring of bonded labour, child labour, labour working
from homes and private jails all over Pakistan and pursue the cases in
Labour/Hari Courts. Also Monitor the working, living and payment
conditions in the mining industry and strive for safety regulations,
better working conditions and optimum salaries.

PREAMBLE
Whereas;
1. Labour movements in Pakistan in general and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf
in particular have been limited through dictatorships, centralised
control, bad labour policies, institutional inefficiencies, manipulations
resulting in exploitation of labour for capital and political gains;
2. The regulation and transparency in application of international
conventions, existing laws and rules by National Institute of Industrial
Relations Commissions (NIRC), Ministries of Labour and Manpower at
provincial levels and even in the party are marred by bad practices;
3. In all organisations employing labour, the rights are usurped through
collaboration between organisational management, pocket unions,
federations, ie collective bargaining agents (CBA), collective bargaining
units (CBU) and illegal labour contractors;
4. That a distinction must be made between the political leadership of
labour wings that operate under party directives and leadership of
labour unions, federations and confederations who operate in an
environment set by NIRC, labour ministries, governmental and semi-
governmental organisations, private industries, corporations and
factories and nationwide activities of labour organisations. Therefore
the two organs ie the Wing and Federation/Unions are separated but
yet harmonized at every tier of Insaf Labour Wing;
5. All Unions and Federations registering with Labour Ministries and NIRC
will do so under an approved framework of Insaf Labour Wing with a
covering letter for the President of the Labour Wing.
6. That political changes, dissolutions and suspension of labour wing has
in the past dampened the cause of Labour Code. In future whenever
party organisations are dissolved, labour wings will continue to
function.
7. That Pakistan stands at the threshold of an economic disaster,
breakdown of institutions, collapse of governance, social disorder,
desperation and disillusionment in which a positively directed and
active labour movement can resist the downslide and assist
developmental growth.

6
Therefore;
We have established Insaf Labour Wing (ILW) and Insaf Workers Federation
(IWF) to mobilise Pakistan’s working classes to lift the country from its present
state of despair, and to set it on the path of unity, solidarity, social justice and
prosperity.
I The document is Titled, “Bylaws Insaf Labour Wing & Insaf Workers
Federation , Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf”.
II Objectives Further to objectives in PTI constitution

Through consistent efforts of Insaf Labour Wing and Insaf Workers Federation,
assist and work in concert with other organs of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf to make

guaranteed full fundamental rights, regardless of any discrimination; so as to
enjoy equal opportunity, peace, harmony and happiness. These Objectives are
more clearly described as:
1. Resurrecting the spirit of labour movement in Pakistan and acting as
role model for labour unions, federations and confederations all over
Pakistan.

national and provincial laws and rules.
4. Suggesting new laws and rules to improve the working conditions and
rights of labour.
