"The bane of FCI [Food Corp of India] is...labour
unions have a mafia-like stranglehold over it. At FCI, the highest paid loader
gets a staggering Rs 2.25 lakh per month to simply load a truck with grain
sacks. The same person in the unorganised sector get paid Rs 6,000 a month. FCI
gives seven times more salary to its contract labour than the rates prevailing
in the market. The organised trucking industry also raises its rates when
transporting for FCI, thus making the Indian exchequer pay thousands of crores
extra over the years."
