from 9.20 Welfare at Work
Safety and health are accepted as essential, but is enough attention given to the personnel and personal aspects of work? Are the frequently hot and noisy surroundings in factories, workshops and canteens acceptable today? Should the monotony of so many production line jobs be relieved by more tea-breaks or more musak? Is enough consideration given to women at work - should creches be compulsory, for example?

The words of Alexander Solzhenitsyn to describe the forced repatriation of about 2 million Soviet and former Russian citizens to the USSR in 1945. Nicholas Bethell, in tonight's programme, deals with one such group of Cossacks who ended the war in the Drau Valley in Austria. They hoped to stay there and believed that the British troops would let them.
But in the Yalta agreement made between Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin it was privately agreed that all prisoners of war would be repatriated. They were repatriated, often with force at bayonet point on to lorries and railway trucks, and taken to labour camps and firing squads in the Soviet Union. This included women and children, as well as non-Soviet citizens who should not have been repatriated.
