A national, Post Office–run system of insurance could give workers affordable, easily understood protection.
This book argues for transforming how workers secure financial support in sickness, old age, or burial. It envisions a trustworthy network that helps labourers gain independence without disrupting their liberty or forcing them into unreliable clubs.
- A practical, nationwide system of friendly societies run through the Post Office.
- Coverage options including sickness pay, endowments, and burial money at modest costs.
- Clear administration with medical evidence and authorized agents to handle claims.
- Aimed at reducing reliance on uncertified clubs and promoting moral and social welfare.
Ideal for readers of social reform, labor history, and policy proposals that connect public institutions with everyday worker support.
