"The contrast between the farmers' milk price dispute and other trade disputes revealed in the coverage in the Guardian and elsewhere could not be more marked (Dairy farmers step up pressure at plants over milk price cuts, 21 July). There are blockades of milk plants, but no restrictions on numbers of protesters. There is no requirement to hold a ballot. Ministers rush to arrange meetings with the parties within 48 hours, with no condemnation of the action. Strangest of all, there is no sight of those usually so quick and loud to criticise any trade union action involving people trying to protect their livelihoods. Kelvin McKenzie, Digby Jones, the Taxpayers' Alliance, and the CBI, where are you?
