| Decision |
The appeals filed by the workers of Fauji Sugar Mills were dismissed as the employees were acknowledged as permanent seasonal workers entitled only to re-employment in subsequent crushing seasons. The Labour Court's ruling confirmed that since the appellants were re-employed during the crushing seasons, the issue of back benefits was rendered moot. Consequently, since the workers had no grievance, the appeals were deemed infructuous and dismissed. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around the appeals filed by workers of Fauji Sugar Mills who contested the decisions made by the VIth Sindh Labour Court. The court had determined that the workers were classified as permanent seasonal employees, entitled primarily to re-employment in the next crushing season. As the workers were re-employed during the crushing periods, the question of back benefits did not arise. This ruling emphasizes the legal standing of seasonal employment under the Industrial Relations Ordinance, highlighting the rights and limitations of seasonal workers in the sugar industry. The decision reflects ongoing themes in labor law regarding employee rights, job security, and the interpretation of seasonal employment contracts. |
