PROJECT ON CONTRACT LABOUR
MANAGEMENT
INTRODUCTION
The Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 is a legislation to regulate the
employment of contract labour in certain establishments and to provide for its abolition in
certain circumstances and for matters connected therewith. The object of the Act is to
regulate and to improve the conditions of service of contract labour and not merely to
abolish contract labour itself. It is an Act for the welfare of the laborers whose conditions
of service are not at all satisfactory.
The Statements and Objects and Reasons for this enactment say:
The question of its abolition has been under the consideration of the government for a
long time. In the second five year plan, the Planning Commission made certain
recommendations, namely, undertaking of the studies to ascertain the extent of the
problem of contract labour, progressive abolition of system, and improvement of service
conditions of contract labour where the abolition was not possible.
The Act aims at the abolition of contract labour in respect of such categories as may be
notified by the appropriate government in the light of certain criteria that have been laid
down, and at regulating the service conditions of contract labour where abolition is not
possible. Under the Act, the provision and maintenance of certain basic welfare amenities
for contract labour, like drinking water and first aid facilities, and in certain cases rest
rooms and canteens have been made obligatory. Provisions have also been made to guard
against defaults in the matter of wage payment.
If use of contract labour is banned and strictly enforced, almost 80% of the industries,
especially public sector industrys job can be affected adversely. This is not because
managements are nasty or unfair, but the Act does not reckon with industrial
compulsions. Our laws relating to labour are based on social justice, not industrial justice
and equity. Because of this, they cannot be enforced and are rarely enforced. The fact of
the matter is that, in the context of todays high industrial wage costs, contract labour to
some extent is unavoidable and is a reality to be reckoned with. All that an industry
should attempt to do is to conform to the laws as much as possible, in order to avoid
embarrassing and expensive penal action by the enforcing authority.
INTRODUCTION
