Movement, and Veterans Against the War. The organisers are campaigning for sponsorships from the labour movement: send, with donation, to May 8 Organising Committee, c/o Robert Jones, Box 353, London Dave Milliken FACTORY occupations in Scotland are now legal. This is the surprising legacy of the Plessey sit-in which ended on march 22.
Plessey management had used the courts to try to end the occupation. An interim interdict to remove the strikers was granted and subsequently withdrawn. Now three Court of Session judges at a full hearing have ruled that any actions by workers in furtherance of a trade dispute are immune from civil actions as a result of section 13 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations Act 1974.
Since the law of tresspass in Scotland only applies if criminal damage occurs, the process of law can no longer be used against workers if they decide to occupy.
This decision has been hailed as a great victory by Jimmy Milne, General Secretary of the STUC but union officials in ScotMar.31: Women and labour movement.
