INDUSTRIAL UNREST
x Sir,—Why are the workers of this country never satisfied? The more they get the more they want. At present we have carpenters moaning that they want lid more an hour, the
miners after a 35-hour week, and the Auckland waterside workers moaning about hatches. Apparently nothing is ever right where they are concerned. They should all think how lucky they are to live in this country. It seems to me that nothing but a depression .will make them realise their luck. Everyone seems to have forgotten the hard years. Mr Fraser is always talking about the Communists, but why doesn’t he do something about it? If the Communist people who are presidents and union secretaries were removed from office, he would find things a lot easier. It is a remarkable coincidence that the unions who cause the most trouble are those that cause inconvenience to the general public.— Yours, etc.,
CONSTANT READER. March 10, 1948.
