I am an NGO trying to help the workers free of cost. I have an issue: The contract workers (under CLRA) 1970, though performing core and perennial work, not getting same wage of PE worker. I was asked by ALC (c) to register a case with DCL (c). ID form A, Rule 3 Section 10 (2) Is OK or not. The contract workers are 150 and union is not registered.

If you are seeking "equal wages for equal work" comparable to P.E., the appropriate action is to file an application under Rule 25 (V)before the Chief Labour Commissioner (C), Shram Mantralay, Rafi Marg, New Delhi-110 001. Even the appropriate Govt. for the establishment of principal employer is State Government, the application lies before the said authority. The CLC (C) refers this matter to one of his Deputy CLC(C). He is the competent authority. AS it is cumbersome process and Delhi is far away and also this methods is not well known to the trade unons and advocates, quite often people prepare a "statement of claim" and file it before DLC of the area under Section 10(2) of I.D. Act for refering the case to the Labour Court. You can do that also. Adv. Chandrasekhar (M.9868332610)

Thanks for the advice and direction. It will go a long way to assist the poor workers who are otherwise exploited for years. K Sambasivaiah, SKS
