Labour-Only Contracts
Sir, —Mr Hill has evaded the issue. I asked for reasons for the objection, not just a parrotlike repetition of objection. It has been interesting to note that the silly reasbns published somewhat earlier were not repeated, because they had no validity whatever in a situation of overfull employment, and Mr Hill’s overeager protection is not required. Indeed, these labouronly blokes would resent having to go on their knees to beg for the right to earn more by efficient and honest service. The decision of the committee of investigation proves nothing and the unanimous decision of the Labour Conference carries no , weight because of the droo-. ling nonsense masquerading i as altruism in Mr Hill’s last sentence: “The decision . . . , protect . . . workers everywhere, and protect public j from sub-standard housing.” ] The clock-watching workers ] everywhere would not dream i of doing anything sub-stand- 1 ard, nor tolerate time-and-mot- 1 ion studies, either.—Yours, < etc., ] HONEST SERVICE. 1 August 3, 1966. 1 __ _ t
