Fed. Convention. The Report stated in part. “A preliminary study of election results indicates that members of politically active affiliated unions voted NDP in greater numbers than did unorganized workers or other groups: in e€ community,” the report said, adding, “The same can probably not be said about trade unionists’ wives. Experienced organizers report that there is evidence that many trade unionists voted NDP, only to have their ef- forts nullified by the votes of their wives.” At another point in the re- port the committee comment- ed: “The election results under- scored the depth of the senti- ment that political activity by trade unionists is somehow il- legitimate. It has been pointed out that illogical and misguid- ed thinking has accepted poli- tical activity by large corpor- ations — financial donations, public expressions of support — as being all right, while viewing similar support by trade unionists as sinister .. . No position which accords to employers political rights that are denied to their employees can long sustain careful scru- tiny.” — ou be ‘a nefit from and from Callin toy You'll like mod dred years ba un one h Commerce our nearby the friendly, rn, progress e nking branch t efficient service. ive services, experience: his week.
