Drivers forced to work without contract

I have friends working in a private firm without any contract. They are not given the proper allowances or proper accommodation. Drivers are forced to travel to Iraq. Some drivers sleep in the trucks which don’t have any A/C. What should they do?

Name withheld

Answer:
All this is against the Labour Law. Everyone must be provided a contract and also must be given their rights. What this firm is doing, if all the info provided is correct, amounts to ‘slavery’. If this is happening, then this firm must be reported to the Labour Dept which will take the necessary action.

complainSrivi | 6/6/2011 9:29:02 AM Most of the companies, never give contract to any labour. But, working inside the company, if you complain in shoun, it is against company, lead to slavery more and more. Accommodation is not part of employer obligation. it is your obligation to arrange your own accommodations, particularly for drivers. Arranging in iraq also difficult. Sending to iraq is illegal. You can complain in embassy or reject not to go iraq, before starting driving. As a low salaried employee, you cannot fight against company in shoun or court. better try good job, good company. you cannot do anything against company and sleeping inside trucks. pray to god.
