Let’s decide on cases’


A FEW weeks back the Police Federation .was a r r a n g with the Government about pay, and . there was speculation as'to whether policemen would go on strike. Now the firemen are actuaUy on strike and the speculation'm the,Press and bn TV and radio is whether they will “lose” or “win” aigamst the Government, which is apparently backed by the TUG.


Almost at the same time a commanding officer, rightly


in my view, complains about the pay'and conditions of his


soldiers who, as well as their other duties, have been ordered to carry out the


tasks of the firemen. Each week, as one crisis


succeeds another, the public


is asked, “Who do you support?," as if it were a question of two football teams playing on Saturday.' Of course, we all have a considerable interest in the result as, through rates and taxes,-we will nave to pay any increases, but it is the wrong question to be asked.

nearly all public employees; in the widest sense, from doctors to miners, carry out vital tasks. I f ' they strike they can hold the nation to ransom. To make my point clearer, if there is a strike at the Ajax Hot Water Bottle Company that is between employees and their uraon and employers. Though it may result in lost orders, or hot water bottles in short supply, it does not bring the life of the nation to a halt.


STRIKES


Labour governments have tried to stem inflation and in order to do so have tried to hold back excessive wage demands. Of course, it is not only wage increases which raise the rate of inflation, but it is an important
