LADE UNION negotiators ve a great responsibility for e success of efforts to reduce e rate of inflation and imove living standards accorrig to Employment Minister irold Walker.
Speaking in Cardiff last eek Mr Walker warned that !xcessive gains by one group • workers will only be at the Tense of the community as a hole through higher prices id unemployment."
He said that large claims 'ere self-defeating and shortghted but he hoped that -ade unionists would connue to show the same kind of .sponsibility and discililine tat they have shown over the ast two years.
"The alternative is settle[ tents higher than single fig ures and the certain knowledge that your pay rise is going to cost another man's job — and there is no collective bargaining on the dole queue," said Mr Walker.
And union men should also remember, said Mr Walker, that the Trades Union Congress general council also warned that it would be foolish and self-defeating to assume that Britain's problems were solved.
