Workers fined
Sir, — I am shocked to my very core to read that two women members of the Clerical Workers’ Union were punished by their union for daring to show that they had an opinion of their own as they should have a perfect right to do. Where do human rights or civil liberties stand on this one? Or, indeed, the feminists for that matter? This makes voting or democracy a complete farce and puts the union in a position of being nothing more than a dictator. It certainly has made me think, and destroyed any faith I had in unions. — Yours, etc., O. WILSON. October 26, 1979.
