Oppose Compulsory Trade Unionism
MELBOURNE, This Day. The Federal Parliamentary Opposition Executive has endorsed the declaration by the Leader of the Opposition (Mr Fadden) that any move to introduce compulsory unionism in Australia must be strenuously opposed. The Australian Council of Trades Unions has asked the Prime Minister to introduce compulsory unionism by regulation. The Opposition executive expressed the view that because of the vital importance of the question to an ever-increasing body of Australians forced into industry to meet wartime demands, the Government should openly indicate its views on the subject.
The opinion was expressed that any action by the Government to force the people to become members’, of ✓ particular trades unions would ’’ be nothing more than a party move, which would not further the nation’s war effort in any way.
