Industrial problems
Sir, — Your correspondent A. LeCren, (November 24) should be commended for the very sensible views expressed in his letter. Many thousands of non-striking citizens of this fair land are fed up with the tactics of union leaders who are forever demanding strike action for the most trivial of reasons. New Zealand is a great country to live in, blessed first of all by . Mother Nature and then made prosperous by a farming community responding to the calls for increased production. These two elements have provided the greater part of our prosper- " ity but should the unions persist in their continuing strike activities, the national
economy, including the workers, will be wrecked, -Britain offers proof of this situation. In Japan, where people work and produce, there is prosperity for all. Should not union officials have their pay stopped every time the members are on strike, losing their wages and often their job. prospects as well? — Yours, etc., C. R. GRANT. November 25, 1980.
