In 2004, APFOL officeholders and other labour leaders demanded the repeal of an anti-labour law, called the Industrial Relations Ordinance (IRO)-2002, from the Pakistani government.[1]
The APFOL merged into the Pakistan Workers' Federation in 2005 which, in turn, is affiliated with the International Trade Union Confederation based in Brussels, Belgium.[4]
