He also accused the federal government of the delay in the transfer of Employees Old Age Benefit Institute and Workers Welfare Fund to the provinces. He said it was the PPP government, led by Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who created the EOBI for the welfare of workers. Bilawal Bhutto also an**unced to extend social security cover to self employed workers like Rehri Walas and rickshaw drivers. He said the PPP governments, led by Z A Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto and Asif Ali Zardari, gave top priority to welfare of labourers and referred to 12 per cent shares given to labourers in state-run enterprises. However, he criticised the PML-N government for stopping it. He said ZA Bhutto's name can**t be deleted from the hearts of labourers as he gave them the voice to speak for their rights and an**unced the observance of May Day. Bilawal asked the chief minister Sindh to improve the functioning of labour department, hold tripartite conference of labour leaders, stakeholders and government officials for a comprehensive labour policy. He regretted that labour courts are **t providing relief to labourers and demanded the federal government to improve the working of labour courts in consultation with the Sindh High Court. The PPP chairman assured the employers that their interests would be protected. He also gave away cheques to family members of deserving labourers who had passed away. Earlier, Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah, in his welcome address, an**unced to distribute Rs500 million among labourers in the form of marriage, death and education grants. The chief minister said Rs1 billion have been planned for labourers by the Workers Welfare Board. The remaining Rs500 million are in the pipeline and will be distributed this year among labourers, he maintained. In fact, this event has **t been held just to mark the Labour Day but to carry out the first phase of distribution of the amount. He pointed out that the Pakistan People's Party had passed 13 laws for labourers in five years, including a safety and health policy. A draft labour policy is in its last stages, the chief minister said. He said since the passage of the 18th Amendment, 13 laws for the betterment of labourers have been passed by the Sindh government.
