Dear all,
I would like to know who is a Motor Transport Worker and what is a Motor Transport Undertaking as per the Motor Transport Workers Act, 1961 with clear examples, please.
What I am looking for is not reproduction of the definitions available in the bare Act, but some live examples.
For example, if a BPO company has its own fleet of buses and transport staff like drivers, will the company then be called as Motor Transport Undertaking? The Driver as Motor Transport Worker?
In another case, if a company uses its own fleet of trucks for transportation of scraps from one of its godowns to a dumping site, will then the company attract the provisions of the MTW Act? The cleaner boy attached to the truck will be a motor transport worker?
If someone can elucidate upon the overlapping areas between MTW Act, Factories Act and Shops & Establishments Act and the problems faced by the organisation due to such overlappings and ambiguity, it would be very interesting for enhancing our knowledge on what is happening in the country on these legislations when they compete with each other for covering the same organization.
In anticipation of your valuable responses,

Friends,
To make my example clear, when I say BPO company has its own fleet of buses and transport staff, that is for transporting all the staff of the company between their residences and workplace.

Dear Pals,
I also do require some insights on the subject. The Act just defines as follows - “motor transport undertaking” means a motor transport undertaking engaged in carrying passengers or goods or both by road for hire or reward, and includes a private carrier;
As the same is not clear...would request inputs so as to make things clear and unambiguous.
Advance thanks...CPS
