As others have mentioned Contract labourers are employees of the contractor only. Loss of employment due to termination of the contract with the contractor, those employees will have to go against the contractor only.
However, if it is established the supervision and control of these contract workers are by the principal employer and the contract for providing the manpower is only on paper and the contractor just provides the people; it becomes a sham contract and these employees will be deemed to be employees of principal employer and all consequential legal provisions will apply.
