Dear Sir,
We are engaging contract labor for packing, lifting, and loading of 40 to 50 kg bags into trucks. This process is carried out by contract labor. Are Mathadi and Hamal applicable to the company even though the Contract Labor Act is already in effect? Please enlighten on.

Maharashtra Mathadi, Hamal, and other Manual Workers (Regulation of Employment and Welfare) Act, 1969, is an Act passed with a view to ensuring better service conditions for unprotected manual laborers. It is applicable to establishments listed in a schedule attached to the said Act. Generally, it applies to loading/unloading workers. If the nature of your work involves similar tasks performed by your workers, the same regulations will naturally apply to you. However, if you employ regular workers whose job is exclusively loading and unloading, then their service conditions shall continue to be governed by your company's standing orders or rules framed similarly to standing orders. If the work is outsourced, the situation may not be different. This is because the principal employer will be responsible for any shortcomings in law enforcement by the contractor.

Dear myjob101,
If you have referred to the Supreme Court judgment relating to MATHADI, please share it with us because this forum is meant for sharing ideas. If all of us are able to refer to judgments, what is the use of the forum? Similarly, there may be a number of judgments, and if you can provide the citation like LLR/LLJ/SC with the page number, that would at least solve our problem. Without doing so, please don't blindly say "refer to the Supreme Court."

There is nothing wrong in engaging Hamalis or loading/unloading workers by means of a contract with an outside contractor. In such cases, the contractor will be the employer in respect of such workers, and the contractor will have to take care of the welfare measures envisaged under the Maharashtra Mathadi, Hamal and other Manual Workers (Regulation of Employment and Welfare) Act, 1969. However, being the principal employer, the ultimate responsibility will be on you only.

I am a self-employed proprietor in the elevator industry. I erect new elevators for small builders. Mathadi Hamals demand money for unloading my material even though I have my own contract laborers. Am I liable to pay them even if they do not unload my goods? Their demand is to the tune of Rs. 15,000/-. Please guide me in this regard.
