Surely a working class imigration policy would make local trades union councils responsible for issuing work permits to non residents, and would make work permits conditional on the immigrants joining the relevant trades union, with permits being withdrawn in the event of scabbing. --- original message --- From: "Jim Devine" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Pen-l] Humane immigration policy?
