BATTLE FOR THE New issue of Socialist Student, paper of Sociali Students in NOLS, now out, 10p plus postage froi Andy Bennet, DSU, Dunelm House, New Elve FORD workers last week voted on the company's offer, or an all-out strike from January 3.
Of the 24 Ford UK plants, 13 accepted the offer, 10 were against, and the Langley vote was recurded as split.
I the past the votes have been tallied by plants. But the plants vary greatly in size, and according to union officials the vote showed a majority of workers against acceptance.
"Sharp end"
Rejection was heaviest among those at the 'sharp end' of production, with the hardest and most demanding jubs, in the budy and engine shops and on the assembly lines.
Union officials are, however, making no move for action. They are meeting management again on Thursday December 8 to attempt to get a further improvement on the wage offer, an improved pension scheme, and a reduction in the working year. Durham. Take a bulk order to sell!
