F.O.L. structure
“It’s been sufficient up to now but one of the things I would have liked to see is greater enthusiasm for amalgamation. The unions are too numerous to be really economical,” Sir Thomas says. Union secretaries should be elected by the members rather than be appointed by the union executive. “I think you’ve got to have an official who understands the industry that he’s employed by, but therefore the job of the executive is to employ the expert. “One of the . services the F.O.L. has advocated is that unions should send their award claims to us before they are filed so that we can look them over and make sure they’re in order. We’ve had a lot of success with this, not so much with the claims coming in but with unions coming to us for advice. “What will be done in the future is that as settlements are made they will be sent out to advocates of affiliated unions so they can see what improvements have been made.”
