Keywords : Employment Law, Labor

What was John Grant, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Employment, talking about when he said: "— of any kind is harmful both to industry and to the individual; it robs industry of a full choice and the use of talent; and it denies the individual the opportunity to make the best of his or her abilities, thus affecting personal dignity and satisfaction, earning capacity and hence general attitude to life in an allegedly free society"?

He was condemning discrimination by employers, but his words could have applied even more appropriately to restrictive practices by unions. That, however, would not have been popular with those who put his party in power and him in office.
