International Workers' Day

On behalf of US CENTCOM - DET, we would like to wish you Happy International Workers’ Day. This day is celebrated in various ways around the world, how is it celebrated in Pakistan? A National Holiday perhaps?

Thanks Haroon. But you know, it sounds a bit funny. You are asking as if you don’t know :slight_smile: Is there ANYTHING in Pakistan you are unaware of? :wink:

I hope governments around the world take concrete steps to improve working conditions and remunerations of workers. Marking the day as we do now is so superficially ceremonial. Thanks anyway :slight_smile:

Re: International Workers' Day

Re: International Workers’ Day

hahahah , one of my favorite verses “baat to sach hai magar baat hai rusvaai ki”. Parveen Shakir!

Anyways, when i asked it was more or less to not assume the “all knowing” attitude. I understand that not everyone celebrates this day the same way (as I was clearly informed on the Nowroz thread lol). So, wanted to know how people are celebrating it, in their own “unique” ways. :slight_smile:

Having a day off is always welcome!

Congratulations :slight_smile: You are the first CENTCOM Rep in the history of this forum who has bothered to visit a thread more than once.

I have never seen a CENTCOM guy returning to a thread and replying to a post. So yes…congrats :slight_smile:
