During pre-budget meetings, trade unions highlighted several key demands, with a primary focus on reinstating the old pension scheme. They also called for higher taxes on the super-rich to finance social security for informal workers. Other requests included raising income tax exemptions, implementing wage and social security codes, and recognizing the rights of gig workers.
