SAUCE FOR THE GANDER
SIR,—As 1 can claim no knowledge industrial relations questions, it is humility and doubt that 1 venture to aso whether, if the right of workers to longer the statutory notice, or to financial Oil,' pensation, in cases where dismissals like th°:-. under dispute in the BMC group have to tat; place, is acknowledged, some consideratici ought not tO be given to the opposite side° the picture?
When the movement of labour was tovsl.sc the motor industries, I fear that scant thon6"1 was given by workers who left employ111°,1/i where they had been skilled craftsmen years to the position in which they left the employers, who often had contracts for vii° outstanding which were difficult to fulfil s'o depleted staff. By all means let us have In°,, consideration for the other side in indas0 but surelyit should be for both sides.—Yo
faithfully, ll 7 Polstead Road. Oxford
