Sir, - I loved your editorial of April 21st which began: "Not so long ago the ASTI was a byword for restraint and responsibility. The union was widely respected ..."
On the very same day I brought a cart-load of restraint, responsibility and respect to my local grocer and asked for a bag of spuds and a few sausages for the kids, but he threw me out on my ear!
Perhaps you could find space to explain the monetary value of these very worthy concepts to the wider population. - Yours, etc.,
