The prospect of a rapprochement particularly alarms East German Boss Walter Ulbricht, who fears that his half of Germany might lose considerable East bloc business in the event of a deal between Bonn and the Warsaw Pact countries...

...stated goal of Sweden's National Trade Union Confederation, or Lands-organisation, is "to give due consideration to the effect of wage developments on the national economy." Sweden's powerful LO represents one worker in every two, and Denmark's LO also has every second worker as a member; Norway's encompasses a third of all breadwinners. Management groups are equally strong, well-organized-and enlightened. Corporations provide quite a few fringe benefits.
