Description
Globalisation and liberalisation of economy has brought about a sea change in the business and industrial scenario. High level and aggressive competition among multinational and national organisations has necessitated reorientation of business and industry. Production is not only to be enhanced but has to be cost effective also which needs flexibility of manpower and labour deployment. Thus, outsourcing and need for certain activities have assumed greater importance.
The enforcement machinery under the Contract Labour (R & A) Act is more occupied with activities related to the abolition of contract labour, much less its regulation. In many cases, it has become detrimental to the development of the industry and economy. Various judicial pronouncements regarding Contract Labour (R & A) Act have given various permutations to the Act causing serious implications on the smooth operations in industry. Lately, the Constitution Bench of the Apex Court has shown the way towards regularisation of contract labour since the Government has also realised the necessity of amending the Act for the benefit of industries by outsourcing certain activities.
This book contains the Ratios of important judgments and other implications about Contract Labour System besides the guidelines of drafting the agreements between the principal employer and the contactor.
