Margins For Skill
Sir, —It is well known that in most cases when a tradesman who served his time in the railway leaves he cannot hold a job at his trade outside and usually finishes up as a labourer. In some cases the labourer in the railway is better educated than the tradesman. Just putting in five years at a trade does not make a tradesman: craftsmen are born, not moulded. 1 therefore suggest to Mr Goldsmith, general secretary of the New Zealand Railway Tradesmen’s Association, that he review the situation and
be thankful his members are in full employment, in view of our current economic difficulties.—Yours, etc., JOHN CITIZEN. January 13, 1967.
