'Farm Union Supports Postal Workers
Support for striking postal
workers was tendered, this weel<,
in a telegram sent by NFU Vice -
President, Walter Miller. Addres-
sed to Co-chairman R. Decarie,
of the Council of Postal Workers,
the telegram said NFU members
believe satisfactory rates of pay
are essential to the maintenance
of good service.
The most competent people
are usually mobile, the telegram
said, and they terid to go where
their skills will earn the best pay.
Low rates induce the best workers
to leave and reduce the possibil-
ity of recruiting competent pe-
ople to replace them. The inev-
itable result is impairment in
the quality of service.
"In our view, " the telegram
said, "few taxpayers will deny
that most postal workers render
an essential service in a court-
eous and efficient manner. We do
not think many will question the
claim that rates of pay for postal
workers have failed to keep pace
with the rising cost of living."
"The government's desire to
practice economy in the postal
service cannot be faulted, " Mr.
Miller said in explanation, "but
there are areas in which econ-
omies can be effected without
risking impairment of the service.
Most taxpayers would welcome
relief from the current flood of
junk mail which we all receive.
Such relief would be an inevitable
side -benefit of eliminating the
public subsidy which corporations
enjoy 18 perpetuating this nuisance
The government's strategy, Mr.
Miller said, appears to be that of
distracting attention from the real
causes of inflation and making
scapegoats of farmers and work-
ing people. As long as there is
no control over the profits of bus-
iness and financial corporations,
limitations on wages and salaries
are unjust and ineffective as a
curb on inflation.
"In seeking to establish a col-
lective bargaining program our-
selves, " Mr. Miller said, "we are
conscious of threats to other
people's bargaining processes. We
believe we should support their
efforts to preserve what we cons-
ider a basic right,"
