Maori workers’ co-operatives
Sir,—Mr Matiu Rata is now suggesting that Maoris should start worker co-operatives, and he is probably right. For a long time it has been Social Credit policy to encourage worker shareholding and worker co-operatives in order to spread the ownership of capital more widely and to improve the industrial relations climate. This could be seen as an extension either of the Anglo-Saxon democratic tradition, or of the Maori tradition of collective ownership of land. Present economic structures do not meet the cultural needs of either group. — Yours, etc., J. C. RING. November 1, 1984.
