F.O.L. policy
Sir, — So- the F.O.L. has become a political party pledging its support to the Labour Party and to work to that end. Surely we all know just how unpopular the F.O.L. is and how the public react to strikes and stoppages aimed against them. If any organisation should be impartial, it is the F.O.L. because many are not Labour supporters. It is the one right left to the workers to take part in an election which is not directed by the F.O.L. Wages have been forced up by unions until some employers can no loger pay the wage bill and have had to close. We could do without unions and workers could be employed on their merit when they know there are others waiting to take their place if their work is not satisfactory. Give the unemployed a chance to do what the employed cannot do — for example, finish the bridge at Mangere. — Yours, etc.,
(Mrs) A. BAXTER, May 7, 1979.
