Trade Unions, once illegal organisations, are today a respected and vrtal part of the industrial world. New status brings new problems and new responsibilities. Where in this situation does the trade unionist stand? How far are his own interests bound up with those of the community as a whole?

Trade Union members and others interested in the movement consider some of the current problems.
