Dave Lambert calls for workers' control

from a special correspondent It is good to learn that Dave Lambert, general secretary of the Foundry Workers! Union = and a Week sponsor - is well again, He celebrated his return to activity by making some excellent comments on the Government's proposed trade union legislation. Thes appeared in the November issue of union's journal and are well worth quoting: ",,..,Now we have the threat of legislation to enforce an incomes policy...Nothing I can think of is calculated to bring more trouble for the unions and the employers...The legal imposition of an incomes policy can hardly be justified at all. It only begins to make sense, in my view, where there is a decisive shift towards the control of industries by the workers employed in them, The two things go hand in hands power and responsibility. Clearly, this kind of legislation can only be restrictive. It is not designed to make employers make us pay moree It can only seek to reject, reduce or delay what has been won by shop stewards through the normal process of collective bargaining. There are no free gifts for foundry workers, no bargain offers in the wage packet.eeWithout shop bargaining....the position would be intolerable for many workers,"
