THE management at Greenings in Warrington last week agreed to talks with the 400 workers on strike against moves to abolish the annual wage claim, end negotiated holidays, reduce trade union facilities, and axe 89 jobs. Management's only previous move in the dispute had been to issue redundancy notices to all the strikers.
The talks, however, produced no shitt in the bosses position, and the strike continues. The strikers have been sending delegations round the country, especially to union conterences, to appeal for funds.
