Comment on Conservative and Liberal Democrat Coalition Government Agreement by Gerald Davies.

These 31 objectives are fine.

However you have concentrated mainly on the public sector – not the private of third sectors.

It should be reexamined and amended to make as many of these objectives as possible apply to these other two sectors. For example in the private and public sector old style Unions are a thing of the past. You have proposed cooperatives or worker participation in the public sector but it should also apply to private sector – look at fiasco of B.A. Royal Mail, network Rail etc.

The public should not be effected by “us and them”-“management and labour”. The 45000 staff of BA should all be working through cooperatives with employees on the Board all working for the common good of the company.

Many of your 31 objectives should be part of E.U. or Federal legislation – not national, Gerald davies, Winchester.
