Labour Problems in Rhodesia: A Trade Union Viewpoint

Abstract

The Rhodesia Economic Society (RES) has invited me to read a paper giving a Trade Union point of view on the subject of Current Economic problems. It gives me great pleasure to do so and I hope that what I say will be of interest to you and if perchance it leads to some better understanding or gives some food for thought, however small the measure I will be most delighted. Since the Trade Union members are also members of the Rhodesian society who depend upon a viable and stable economy for their very existence, the economy of the country is of great concern to the Trade Union and it is for this reason that the Union involves itself to the degree it does in its endeavor to ensure that certain balances and priorities are maintained in the interest of its members and consequently the general public.
