KARACHI (Dunya News) – The retrenchment of the Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM) employees and privatization of the organization by the federal government has been challenged in the Sindh High Court, Dunya News reported on Monday.

According to details, Pakistan Steel Labour Union (PASLU) President Asim Bhatti and others moved the SHC and took the stance that workers are not responsible for the PSM’s current condition.

The petition stated, “Wrong policies by former governments caused losses to the PSM while the incumbent government did not take any step either to restore it.

“The federal government’s decision to retrench the PSM employees is illegal and should be declared unlawful.”
