Compulsory Unionism
Sir, —Whether one takes what your correspondent decries as a “one-eyed view” of compulsory unionism or whether one adopts a two-eyed stance, it doesn’t make a ha’porth of difference to the basic and inescapable fact that the system lends itself all too readily to coercion and petty tyranny of a most objectionable kind. One knows perfectly well, without going to the cinema, to what lengths, and to what depths of cold-blooded inhumanity, certain trade unions in Britain have gone ip order to preserve their vaunted “solidarity”; and if anyone says, it couldn’t happen here under compulsory unionism, he is a bolder man than most.—Yours, etc., M.T. December 11, 1960.
