Myanmar to promote, protect labour rights

Myanmar has pledged to promote and protect labour rights, including ending forced labour and stronger enforcement of child labour law in the country, the Ministry of Labour, Immigration and Population said on Monday.

In a statement, the ministry invited all interested partners to join with the government in its efforts to promote rights at work, encourage decent employment opportunities, enhance social protection and strengthen dialogue on labour-related issues, Xinhua news agency reported.

Labour Minister U Thein Swe called on the employers to respect the rights of workers in accordance with the Labour Law while pursuing their own interest, urging them to maximise their workplace efficiency and hone their skill in their chosen areas of work. (Courtesy of Business Standard News)
