Abstract
Pakistan, at its independence in 1947, inherited only nine percent of the total industrial establishment of British India. The fragmented and low concentration of industrial capital was mirrored by the weakness of organized labor. The nascent Pakistan government followed an import substitution model to rapidly industrialize the economy. Within these policy parameters, labor was continuously asked to play its “proper and subordinate” role in relation to industrial growth.
