gastry SUPERE -DUSTMEN "Guardian' cheers Tory scabs' charter charter' unveiled by shadow Minister of Labour Mr Robert Carr 'HOW to make friends and influence people' should be the sub-title conference on Wednesday.

It is reported that the TUC were 'delighted' with the response to the series.

It took the TUC and BBC cide on its contents.

Significantly, Rootes, which is in the throes of introducing Measured-Day Work, provided facilities for 150 of its shop stewards to watch the series during working hours.

British-Leyland, where the introduction MeasuredDay Work has been resisted, said they were 'very impresed', but a company, spokesman said: 'I don't think anybody has asked for time off to watch the series ..

Although the use of television will not assist the managements very much, its intervention into the field of industrial relations certainly marks a new stage in the use of the medium by the ruling class.

Lining But the mailed fist of Tory reaction is only very imperfectly concealed by Carr's careful phrases.

The Liberals are lining up behind the Tories in the expectation of a Tory governThere is no, room on this question for any middle road.

WAGES The dustmen must firm.

Any 'health hazard is en irely the responsibility o the government and the employers, who have refused for so long to pay council workers a living wage.

It should not be forgotten that dustmen work every day amid piles of stinking garbage for a weekly wage only just over a third of what Wilson gets in a day. Nothing was said before the strike of the health hazard to these workers.

The dustmen are under attack.
