Britannia waives the rules
Sassoon, Donald | April 21, 1997 issue

add to cart   close window

The article highlights strong position of Great Britain's new labor party in the coming parliamentary elections. The labor will impose a special one-time tax for excess profits on the privatized utilities and fund jobs for the young unemployed, decrease the size of classes in primary schools, join the European Social Protocol aimed at protecting employees, introduce a minimum wage and embark on a program of constitutional changes. None of the Conservative anti-trade union legislation will be repealed. A New Labor government has committed itself to the same fiscal rectitude that has prevailed among Conservatives.
