Meat workers’ dispute
Sir, — What new twist are the meat workers now giving to their annual wrangling over wages? Knowing that they have the employing companies on the hook, the trumped-up lastminute claims wreck our chances of getting large quantities of new season’s meat to the British market before Christinas, and jeopardise our economy. The latest twist on travelling expenses is not only a nice way of getting around restrictions on wage increases, but also an affront to other workers who travel long distances out of town to work, or to those wasting petrol in stop-go city motoring. — Yours, etc., T. SMITH. October 18, 1976.
