Trade Unions
Sir,—Mr Shand deserves praise tor the excellence of his address to the Students' Congress, which should be framed and hung in every! trade unionist's office. I fully I agree with Mr Shand that!
there are too many trade unions. This tends to lessen the strength of the movement. In modem conditions of take-over bids it is obvious that the modern tendency is for industries to organise themselves into bigger and bigger firms of nation-wide extent, many of them with overseas ramifications as well. To deal fully effectively with big powerful and wealthy firms, it is usually necessary to have big, powerful and wealthy unions. This is fully recognised by the British Trades Union Congress which is now reorganising itself and rationalising its educational systems.— Youre, eitc.,
RALPH S. WHEELER. January 31, 1963.
