• Public Sector, in realizing Governments efforts
• towards the development of the private sector, as
• the engine of growth. However, it may not solve
• the problem of violations of workers rights
• at workplaces, especially the ones in the private

  eliminate such
• violations due to the following
  factors\circumstances.
