Ranadive, B. T.

The working class, along with the people, has been groaning under the burden of ever-rising prices. The distress and misery caused by the rising price spiral is unimaginable. The Additional Emoluments (Compulsory Deposits) Act, 1974 is intended to deprive the workers of wage rise and increased dearness allowance. It constitutes a direct measure for wage freeze ; for prohibition of revision of wages in favour of the workers.
