May Day

 International Workers' Day (also known as May Day) is a celebration of laborer and the working class and occurs on May 1st every year. May day is promoted by the international labor movement. In our nation Nepal the day is observed as well. Various seminars and rallies are conducted, few snaps and videos of working class people and labors are discussed with endless measures to resolve their problems which has been annual routine without any substantial measures to resolve actual problems of the labours. Labours and working class people are most hardworking groups with minimum or no benefits. Their inputs benefit corporates, organisation and industries but workers are least paid with least benefits. These are the class of people who works entire day without loving work they do but just thinking they will get food if they work. Whereas with the income they hardly can afford good food but just survival foods. Besides survival foods, they also have accommodation and other basic needs to be taken care of and they hardly could manage them all. As they are backbone of any society, we rely upon their hard toil but what do they get in return is difficult life with uncertainties for themselves and their offsprings too!

I have come to know a teacher in a private school with very mediocre salary not able to rent a room and buy groceries too. I also knew the founders of the same school who used to divide their annual income every year with big bundles of money besides, they used to buy land, buildings and increase the property and valuation of their school. I meant they were in very good profit every year and used to have good living standards, share of money and investment in properties too. Whereas the teacher who had been working there for decades earns a mediocre salary not able to keep up himself/herself! This is our society's reality. In almost every field entrepreneurs suck the hard toil and benefits most making their life in oasis whereas making life of workers as desert.

All these concept of drawing maximum benefits with most inputs from workers and not sharing or providing good pay for workers has to be end. This has created or widened gap between rich and poors. We need to create minimum pay standard so that both entrepreneurs and workers can share the benefits. Working class people and laborers deserve good pay and respect too. I don't feel a company who neglects its employee will sustain in long run but at present in our nation we lack good rules and regulations and people are extracting maximum benefits for self at cost of other's miserable life. Most of the concerns are focused towards privatisation and its policy of least salary (on which one can't afford own life) and its attitude toeards working class people!

Working class and laborers needs decent pay!

Respect work and workers too!!
