P.S.A. dispute
Sir, — In reference your article (July 6) about electricity workers and their houses, may I suggest that no-one has mentioned the thousands of electricity workers who do not live in departmental houses and do not get cheap electricity (or do they?) and who nevertheless, on the same salaries, manage to pay normal rents or mortgages and all their other bills. Surely the workers who get the perks could manage to save, out of the money they would otherwise have to pay for higher rents and electricity, in order to have their own homes later on. I feel the terms offered for the purchase of these houses are magnanimous and very few others in New Zealand are offered this sort of deal.
— Yours, etc., (Mrs) P. A. LEWIS. July 6, 1979.
