A.I.RLY.PARCEL & GOODS PORTERS UNION vs U.O.I. .

The Supreme Court addressed the abolition of the contract system of labor in the context of parcel porters employed by the Northern Railway. The Court held that the petitioners, who have been working for extended periods, should be treated as permanent employees under the principles established in prior judgments, specifically referencing the National Federation of Railway Porters case. The Court directed the respondents to regularize the employment status of the parcel porters and provide them with the same benefits as regular employees, thereby affirming the need for equitable treatment in labor relations.
