IBODY can say the Transport d General Workers Union sn't believe in give and take: union takes and everyone e gives. This is implicit in the ion's cynical attitude towards ! National Freight Company's :itation to employees to ome joint owners by buying ]res.
_ike others, the TGWU cries [for investment in British lustry — but not by its own :mbers. Financial risk is for lers unspecified.
rnployees who own the Jity in a company would be h to hazard their capital as II as their income by striking support of a demand for her wages which they knew ght cause bankruptcy. -low much more comfortable live on public charity in a tionalised industry, accepting responsibility and cushioned ainst economic reality by dless subventions from the rvernment.
Plat is what the TGWU means ten it tells members that "it -mot be in their long-term erests as workers" to take a ike in the company which Iploys them and to strive for success. Does the union also ;suede members from resting in the Transport velopment Group?
