| Decision |
The appeals were dismissed based on the conclusion that the petitioners failed to prove their employment with the respondents. The Labour Court found that the provisions of the Standing Orders Ordinance were not applicable to the case of the petitioners. The court determined that the petitioners had not established the necessary employment relationship or the existence of twenty workers employed by the respondents, which is a requirement for the ordinance to apply. The petitioners' claims were dismissed as unsubstantiated, leading to the dismissal of their appeals. |
| Summary |
In the case before the Labour Appellate Tribunal, Sindh, the petitioners, led by Junaid Ahmad, faced dismissal of their appeals against the Labour Court's ruling. The case revolved around claims made by the petitioners who alleged employment with the respondents and sought to form a union. The tribunal found that the petitioners could not substantiate their claims of employment, failing to prove that the respondents had the requisite number of workers as mandated by the West Pakistan Industrial and Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance. The court emphasized the importance of documented evidence to establish employment status, which the petitioners lacked. The decision underscores the necessity for workers to have clear proof of employment relationships when seeking protections under labor laws. This case highlights the challenges faced by workers in asserting their rights in union formation and employment claims, especially in the context of labor regulations and employer responses to union activities. |
