Introduction of the Organization
-
- Objective:
- Pakistan Institute of Labor Education & Research (PILER). PILER works for the uplift of working people through Education, Research, and Advocacy. We also maintain data, news, journal publications, books and other resource material on labor and related issues. Our main focus is Pakistan but we are also involved in regional and international initiatives.Objective:
The Pakistan Institute of Labor Education and Research (PILER) was founded in 1982 as a non-official and non-profit making body by a number of concerned individuals belonging to the trade union movement, academia and professionals from all walks of life. It has worked to create a socio-political order in which the real potential of working people is fully realized and their efforts are rewarded justly. Thus the role of this body has been to inform, motivate and mobilize this rather large but neglected section of society through intellectual and social action with the following aims and objectives.
1. To function as an educational, cultural and literary institution for the uplift of working people.
2. To organize and produce original research works on various sociological, economic, political and legal issues concerning Pakistan and developing countries.
3. To print and publish research material, periodicals and books.
4. To organize training courses in performing arts and undertake cultural activities.
