Pakistan Institute of Labor Education and Research

The Pakistan Institute of Labour Education & Research (PILER) was founded on 1 May 1982 by a group of concerned individuals from the trade union movement, academia and various other professions.

The year 2000 was a landmark in the organisation’s institutional history as PILER shifted from a small rented office to its own custom-designed building constructed on 2,385 square yards of land. Equipped with a hostel, conference hall, library, board meeting room, common room and dining hall, the spacious office—designed by the PILER’s friend and well-known architect-activist-urban planner Arif Hasan—was built with the generous financial support from Stichting De Zaaier as well as contributions from PILER’s international partners, local philanthropists, friends and well-wishers.
