PROFIT-SHARING PROJECT.
OBJECTION FROM UNION. THE PRINCIPLE OPPOSED. A. and N.Z. LONDON, Nov. 23. The Carpenters' and Joiners' Union sent an ultimatum to its members employed by Lever Bros, stating that they will be expelled if they continue to participate in the firm's co-partnership scheme. Lever's employees declare that they will resist the ultimatum. The action of the carpenters and joiners is likely to precipitate the general question of the , trades union attitude to profit-sharing schemes. Trades union leaders are mostly opposed to the principle, on the ground that workers* under copartnership achieve a different economic basis from others. Moreover, as shareholders, they assist in furthering privately-controlled ini dustry against Labour's aim of complete nationalisation.
