Industrial relations
Sir,—l notice that employers propose what they claim to be a total change in their requirements in industrial relations with trade unions. In other words, they demand that the working section of society conform to strict regulation without any willingness on their part to adjust their own attitudes. Such demands can only result in greater friction. What is needed in this present age is a new desire on the part of man to be concerned about the needs of mankind, and away from the urge to require money, which is the driving motive of man. A total change can only mean a reduction in wages, in debt, in interest rates, shareholding, and bank deposits, and this must be far-reaching in society or universal.—Yours, etC "F. H. ENGELBRECHT. Oxford, March 6, 1972.
