They suffered a little at his hands during the period of the wage freeze.
This is quite a different case and has nothing to do with the wage freeze.
If voluntary wage restraint did not come up to his expectations, however, would he ever consider a wage freeze?
I have heard of a wage freeze, but this is ridiculous.
We could say that there should be no wage restraint below, say, £20 or £25 a week but above that level we would consider a wage freeze.
It will be noted that there was not a whisper in the manifesto about taking statutory power to enforce a wage freeze.
How is it likely to affect the policy of the wage freeze?
It has been made abundantly clear on more than one occasion that there is no such thing as a wage freeze in operation whatsoever.
