Index Fraud in Ahmedabad: AITUC's Note sent to the Experts Committee on Ahmedabad Index

Abstract

Textile worker strikes in Ahmedabad were held on 8 August 1964 to protest against the compulsory deposit scheme. Prices have risen steadily, the official consumer price index in Ahmedabad was wrong, and workers have been missed out on their rightful income. Present wage scales mean workers are not earning enough.
