Half-Time Britain?

on BBC One London

Is the nation doing half-work for half-pay under half-hearted management?

"The working man says... the way in which one gets richer is to do less and less work" (Management Consultant, 1964)

"We held their efficiency programme up for two years because we feared loss of work and loss of overtime" (Worker, 1964)

"The fault lies with management... as chairman over a long period I must accept a certain amount of the share of responsibility" (Mr. Cecil King, 1964)

"It's no good telling workers that change will benefit everyone in the long run... in the long run we're all dead" (Worker, 1964)

This programme gives reasons for some of Britain's economic troubles. It comes from the manager's office and the shop floor.
