Strikes and the law
Sir, —• The simple logic that is the crux of the situation regarding strikes has been put into a nutshell by your correspondent J. Logan (“The Press” May 1). Those who state categorically that the stand taken by Mr Holland when the country was being held to ransom by the Seamen’s Union with many other unions in support, should now be applied to the series of strikes at present crippling the economy, are hiding their heads in the sand. Since Mr Muldoon has been Prime Minister the unions have been led by the nose along the path to the eventual state bordering on anarchy where each union is a law unto itself. — Yours, etc., L. E. REID. May 1, 1978.
