VAUXHALL unions have called for a one-day strike on November 8.
This call follows negotiations last week in which Vauxhali refused to improve their 8 per cent offer or to concede to union demands to have the 'S' car built in Britain rather than imported.
AUEW shop stewards at Ellesmere Port have voted to reject the union recommendation, arguing, that the wage offer should be accepted, the better to concentrate on the imports issue.
Support for the Novembti 8 stoppage is likely to be solid elsewhere. More of a problem, however, is that the unions have absolutely no plans for all-out strike action of the sort necessary to win a seriously improved wage offer or a guarantee of job security.
Instead there are plans for a demonstration at the International Motor Show in Birmingham on the nationalist theme of how much better it is to make cars in Britain than abroad. DHSS
