Explanation:

ontract labourers also suffer from inferior labour status, casual nature of employment, lack of job security and poor economic conditions. It was also observed that in some cases the contract labourers did the same work as the workers directly employed by the industrialist but were no paid the same wages and the same working conditions.

This practice of contract labour has also lead to the exploitation of these labourers as they are not employed directly under the employer. This practice of exploitation was and still is very much prevalent in India, therefore to encounter such problem and also to regulate the conditions of these labourers the Govt. passed an Act called the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970. The Act was also passed to provide legislative protection to these workers who had no rights to claim what they deserved like basic amenities, urinals, drinking water facilty etc. Furthermore these contract labourers before the enactment could not avail the rights and benefits which were availed by the permanent workers under different labour and industrial provisions.
