Letters to the EditorHester Spot On
Just a note to say I commend you for you article on Unions Flogged to death. This is a great article about a serious problem which I encountered myself. I worked at a chartered accountant office called David Wilson who tried to force me to work unpaid overtime. I dont mean 15 minutes or even 30 minutes but he wanted 2 hours of unpaid overtime every night - & charge the clients for the work he got for free. when i refused he became so nasty that I ended up having to leave due to the stress causing me ill health. Because of the ongoing attack on unions by the howard costello government, people are not joined together in union as they desperatly need to be. i feel it is because of this that the likes of david wilson feel free to abuse & bully workers. so once again congratulations on a great article keep up the good work!!!!
