October 4, 1980. Industrial problems
Sir, — Anyone who still thinks the unions are working for the good of this country must be a staunch communist. Look at the countless examples of union . interference in this country's production processes, e.g. continual ■ strikes in the freezing industry, strikes, work-to-rules, go-slows disrupting the transport sector, stoppages in the paper industry, and crippling of construction projects (to name a few!) They are really breaking down order and re-; ducing New Zealand to azstate of economic and socialruin. Union officials always find excuses to justify their intimidation as they covertly promote confrontation between the* “bosses” and “workers” and continually force higher wages which lead to higher costs and aid inflation and unemployment. The sooner we vote out compulsory . unionism and get back to working together in harmony, with the emphasis on production, the sooner we can get this country back on its .feet. — Yours, eta, MARTIN STANLEY, October 7, 1980.
