Bhima and his wife Ms. Kamla are doing labour work in Progressive Construction Company Ltd. Bhima and Ms. Kamla are being paid ₹500 and ₹400 per day for their labour work. Like Bhima and Kamla, there are many other workers, working in the Construction Company and the Company is following the practice of paying less wages to the female worker in comparison to male workers. Kamla and many more female workers raised their voice before the management to give wages at par with the male workers. To handle this situation, the management reduced the wages of the male workers and kept it as ₹400. Now irrespective of any gender, the wages of both the gender are ₹400 per day. Whether Bhima and Ms. Kamla are to be treated as 'Employee' or 'Worker' of the Construction Company? Explain.
