Motor
Vehicles Ordinance [LV of 1983]


Sections 2(XXVI) & 8–

Truck
drivers union–Question of registration–The Ordinance does not contemplate
‘apprehension of breach of peace’ nor does it empower the Registrar to refuse
registration on the ground of an already registered counter–trade union. Labour
Court is competent to entertain a case from an order of refusal to register a
trade union by the Registrar. The drivers of trucks are engaged by the owners
of the trucks and are workers. As workers they have the right to form trade
union for the purpose of regulating the relation between themselves and
employers for imposing restrictive conditions on the conduct of trade or
business.
