Trade unions and the economy
Sir, — In the forthcoming programme of universal price rises the entire population in involved. Yet already the trade unions are claiming that it is not fair to place the onus of sacrifice on them alone. Who on earth is doing so except their own spokesmen? Speaking personally, the increase in electricity charges and postage, to mention two of the steepest rises, is going to be borne for me by me alone with no compensatory off-set in subsidies of any description. The same must apply to a considerable proportion of the population. So, please, can we have less self-dramatisation from one section it it. — Yours, etc., I. S. TREW. January 9, 1976.
