Letter: Supermarket strike

Sir: Your series of reports on supermarkets (from 29 December) is typically consumerist in focus. Try another angle. The large supermarkets employ large workforces, most of which are organised in trade unions. Their power, should they decide to use it, is considerable. They could, in fact, halt much of consumerist society at a stroke. Supermarket workers, the new miners?
