ELEVEN strikers at the Royal Pride furniture plant in Manchester have been on strike since February 27 in a major struggle which began as a pay claim but escalated into a fight for recognition of their union, FTATU.
A demonstration . has been called in Manchester on May 16. And donations and messages of support should be urgently sent to the Royal Pride Strike Fund, 37 Anson Road, Victoria Park, Manchester.
A CONTINGENT from the 9-week old strike of NUJ members at Pergamon Press, Oxford, will lobby the TUC Printing Industries Committee this week, demanding print union support.
So far SOGAT members have crossed NUJ picket lines and NGA members both inside Pergamon and elsewhere have heeded official instructions not to impose solidarity blacking action.
The strike continues to need funds to further its struggle against Pergamon's union busting "socialist" boss Robert Maxwell.
Donations and messages of support should be sent to the strike headquarters, 5, Union Street, Oxford.
