Empowering the Hands that Serve the Nation
The Indian Railway Catering Tourism Contract Workers Federation (IRCTCWF) is the definitive, independent voice for thousands of contract employees across the Indian Railways. Registered under the Indian Trade Union Act, 1926 (Regd. No: 02/Addl.RTU/CD/22), we are a legally recognized body dedicated to transforming the landscape of railway labor through dignity, unity, and professional advocacy.
Presidential Vision: A Message from Guman Singh
"Our federation is built on the belief that labor is the soul of the Indian Railways. Under my presidency, IRCTCWF is committed to ensuring that every contract worker—from the base kitchens to the pantry cars—is treated not just as a resource, but as a respected stakeholder in our national progress. We don't just demand change; we institutionalize it."

My vision is to create a future where every contract worker feels a sense of ownership and pride in their contribution to the nation, backed by the unwavering support of a federation that never sleeps.
We operate on the principle that ‘Dignity is Non-Negotiable.’ Whether a worker is serving on a premier Rajdhani or managing a base kitchen in a remote station, their rights to fair wages, social security, and physical safety are paramount. My vision is to create a future where every contract worker feels a sense of ownership and pride in their contribution to the nation, backed by the unwavering support of a federation that never sleeps.”

Our Core Strategic Pillars
Under the leadership of Guman Singh, the federation operates through four strategic pillars designed to provide holistic support to our members:
1. Legislative Advocacy and Policy Reform
We spend significant resources in the corridors of power, ensuring that when new policies are drafted regarding railway catering or tourism, the “Worker Perspective” is included. We advocate for the regularization of work hours and the inclusion of contract staff in railway-managed welfare schemes.
