Where do I stand in my Future

I am highly educated Indian, I got Opportunity in Multi National Company on a high Level Pay scale. I Served that Company for Six Years with maximum efforts in Marketing Section which resulted in to a very good Stability of the Company and for that reason the Company rewarded me from time to time.
During the Service no adverse remarks were there.

One day during the Office work I have received One letter from the head office of my Company, it was a great shock to me as my Services was terminated from the end of that day and along with that letter I received one demand draft of 1 Month’s Pay and a handful amount an and by way of a reward for my services rendered to them.

It is surprising that till that day I was not aware of the fact that I was not the direct Employee of the Multinational Company, but I was Employed through an Agency who usually provides Officers, Staff, Worker’s to Multinational Companies for their Branches in India.

I made an attempt asking a clarification from the multinational Company but they started giving me explanation which I do not find relevant. I consulted a Lawyer and it was found that what was executed in between me and the Agency and the Multinational Company was not sufficient to prove my case.

After making due enquiry I came to know that all these Multinational Companies always keep themselves very alert by not appointing Any persons or officials directly just to avoid themselves from the clutches of Indian Laws just as Payment of wages Act, Provident Fund Act and other Acts related. And therefore it has become a Precedent that all these Companies do not appoint directly all the persons they require but they buy the services rendered , and / or they tune their Agreement of appointment to that effect, even in the appointment letter’s they impose certain conditions which paralyze the appointed person by enjoying his legal Rights and such Persons become a Puppet of the hands of these Multinational Companies.

From the conduct of this type of attitude of Multinational Companies who are making a huge profits in India by fooling the people and taking disadvantage by misguiding them, some questions arose in my mind which were remained unsolved, for which I am searching for a good answer.

1) What is my future if any Multinational Company terminates my services ?
2) Where do I go to ask for a justice ?
3) Was there any forum who can help me ?
4) Can I prove my case ?
5) Can I ask for a Compensation ?
6) What will be the status regarding my provident Fund ?
7) Will the Indian Government help me or / and such types of persons ?
8) Does the Indian Law Provides me certain Protections ?

After Lots of Enquiry in the Private Sector’s in India I surprisingly found that most of the Indian Companies and Entrepreneurs and Institutions now a days appoints their Staff’s and officer’s on a Contract basis just to avoid from the Legal Clutches and from rigid Conditions of Indian Laws. By Accepting this method of Appointment they always keep a hanging Sword of termination on their Employees.

The Employees working under this constant threat of termination without giving any reason by Employer, works years together dreaming that every day in the Morning he will go on work and in the evening return to his Home with a hope to go on the same work next morning.

I just want to ask to the Human resources department and the Persons working thereunder. Do you have any concrete solution on this ? At least my successor in titles for the said job should not suffer due to the uncertainty of job surety and Security of their earnings in their life like me.
